Spiritual Warfare: 'Don’t Fear: Believe that Jesus is Preparing a Place for You'

God's Power for Our Battles — Thursday, December 10, 2026

Do not let your heart be troubled (afraid, cowardly). Believe [confidently] in God and trust in Him, [have faith, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and] believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you, because I am going there to prepare a place for you.
— John 14:1-2 AMP

Today's Prayer

Lord, deliver me from a troubled heart and a focus on my fears. Remind me that fear is really faith in Satan; focusing on what Satan wants me to think MIGHT happen instead of focusing on what You tell me-that You will see me through and be with me all along the way. Help me also to remember that if I train myself to focus on my faith and on Your promises, Lord, that my fears will all vanish like the morning dew. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
