The Battle Belongs To The Lord

There is a battle raging against me and my family right now. It's one I know I can't win on my own. It's strong and fierce and coming at us from all sides. There are days I want to give up. There are moments when I feel like I can't go on. There are mornings that it takes every ounce of energy I have to get out of bed. This battle might go on a while. I'm not sure what's next,  but I do know one thing. This battle belongs to the Lord. (2 Chronicles 20:15)

There is not one thing that the enemy can throw at me that will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). My God is fighting this battle for me and we will win (2 Chronicles 20:17). My future plans are secure (Jeremiah 29:11) and I will worship and praise Him for this victory before I even see it (Psalm 20). He is my refuge and my strength in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1). Sorrow may last for the night, but JOY comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5)

I can be confident in this because I know it's true. He has walked right beside me through storms that should have left me broken. He has given me back things that I thought were gone. He has given me freedom that I never thought possible. He has provided for me when there was nothing. He has promised me eternity with Him.

I'm going to praise Him and then sit back and watch Him create beauty from ashes (Isaiah 61:3).

If you're struggling, reach out to the One who knows you, the One who calls you by name, the One who will pull you out of the pit of despair.
