Spiritual Warfare: 'God Knows All About Me!'

God's Power for Our Battles — Tuesday, May 19, 2026

Lord, you have examined me and know all about me. You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know my thoughts before I think them. You know where I go and where I lie down. You know everything I do.
— Psalm 139:1-3 NCV

Today's Prayer

Lord, many people - even Christians - seem to think You are far away and care little about the intricate details of daily life and everyday struggles. Remind me that this is not true. You know my worries and fears, my daily pains and problems, and even the number of hairs on my head. Thank You for caring. Thank You for being involved, and for listening to my many prayers and concerns. Nothing is beyond You, Lord, and I praise You for being the God who cares. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
