Oh God, this can only be a prayer!
You remind me that there is an enemy of all humankind and of all creation and that enemy has set its sights on stealing from you, killing all possibility of life, and ultimately destroying us. Let us not be under any false apprehension.
But help the one under relentless attack right now to know that you are mightier than anything the enemy can throw at them!
Lord, I won’t dignify the enemy with a status as a being, whether there is being or not, for I’m hateful of this enemy for what it does to us, within our relationships, and ultimately its offence to you. But I also know that you mightily beyond any such offence.
Teach this truth to the one under relentless attack right now. Inculcate confidence in them to deflect the incoming poisonous darts.
Lord, you have shown me just how much the enemy despises me and everything I stand for. You have revealed to me how relentless the pursuit of the enemy is toward those who love you. You have displayed through living experience how the enemy twists circumstances and minds and contrives all kinds of lies to diminish our sense of worth, which can never truly be doubted in you. You have arrayed within me an understanding of just how much a scourge the enemy is, and how much it cannot rest until we are crushed. Yet, you are the one who uses crushing for our spiritual benefit whenever we turn to you.
Lord, you know this is personal, and that the enemy always makes it personal. You also know that I know that you are the only sure and safe avenger. I trust you, Lord.
Sovereign God, who created the earth and the heavens, and knew what would happen, you are the only one who can deal with this. I’m so thankful that you have dealt with it—1,990 years ago! I stand on that victory. I claim it as my own, even if my life is ripped apart and there is nothing of it that remains.
I trust you, in the mighty name of Jesus!
AMEN.
