The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Isaiah 54:17 says no weapon formed against You shall prosper. It does not say no weapon will be formed. The weapons are real. But the promise is that they will not win.
Someone is talking behind my back at work. A friend's marriage is being pulled apart. The lies my kids face online are real and aimed right at them. Help me see past all of that.
Help me trust the long view and still do the right thing today. I will still defend my family. I will still tell the truth at work. But let me do it knowing the final outcome is in Your hands.
Lord Jesus, You beat the worst weapon ever formed. Cover my family today. Cover my friend's marriage. Cover my own integrity at work. Let me act like a man who knows You are stronger than anything coming at us.
Amen.
