Spiritual Warfare: 'God's Faithfulness and Unfailing Love'

God's Power for Our Battles — Saturday, May 17, 2025

Unfailing love and faithfulness make atonement for sin. By fearing the Lord, people avoid evil. When people's lives please the Lord, even their enemies are at peace with them.
— Proverbs 16:6-7 NLT

Today's Prayer

Lord, You have been so loving and generous to me. Help me to show that same love to others. I want to be faithful to You, but I fail and sin in so many ways. Thank You for the forgiveness that comes through your unfailing love and faithfulness given to me through Jesus. Help me to be more faithful and loving, so I can avoid the evil all around me in this present world. Deliver me from my enemies, and cause them to look on me in peace. Open their eyes to Your loving-kindness through my actions. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
