Following Jesus doesn’t mean life will be free of struggles. In fact, walking with God means you will face spiritual opposition. The enemy will try to distract you, tempt you, and discourage you. But God has not left you defenseless.
“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” – Ephesians 6:11
The Christian life is a battle—and we must learn to fight. But we do not fight in our own strength. We stand in the power of God, equipped with His truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God.
Temptation is real. So is fear. So is doubt. But so is Jesus—and He has overcome it all. When you feel weak, run to Him. When you’re afraid, hold tightly to His promises. When you feel like giving up, remember that He already won the battle at the cross.
“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” – Exodus 14:14
Don’t isolate yourself. Stay connected with the body of Christ. Surround yourself with people who strengthen your faith. Pray without ceasing. Read God’s Word daily. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.
“Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” – James 4:7
“Father, I know I will face spiritual battles, but I choose to stand in Your strength. Clothe me with Your armor. Strengthen my faith. Help me overcome fear, temptation, and doubt. I put my trust in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
