Dear Lord,
When I imagine myself alone, without You, I lose hope. What power do I have to win life’s battles without You? But why worry about such a thing when You are always with me?
I am traveling through this life with You, my powerful God who is living on the inside of me. What a wonder and a miracle that is!
You are the God of peace who protects me from the schemes of the devil. You crush him beneath my feet because the grace of my Lord Jesus is over me. And for this reason alone, I have the strength to face anything that comes my way through the power of Christ.
I am confident that You have already begun a good work in me. I know You will carry this good work to completion until the day I meet Jesus face-to-face.
This is why I have the confidence to say, “Lord, You are my helper. I have no need to fear. I am under Your power and authority. My soul cannot be touched by anything anyone tries to do to me because I am in You and I am Yours.”
Even though I cannot yet see You face-to-face, I know You are with me. Because I know You and because Your grace has covered my sin, I will enjoy Your peace that quiets my soul. My confidence is in You forever.
In the name of Jesus, amen.
The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
