8 Verses to Remember that God is Fighting for You

Life often takes me to my knees.

Lately, however, I feel as if I’ve barely been able to stand up before it knocks me down again.

I’m learning though, that it is possible to not give up, but to stay low while I catch my breath. All the while, staying as close to God as possible. Fortunately, He’s not concerned with personal space, so He doesn’t mind if I cling to Him constantly and lean on Him hard. In fact, He encourages it!

I’ve been reminded that the Lord is fighting this battle. It feels like it’s all on my shoulders, but I’m trying to let Him take the weight from me.

I imagine you might know what I’m talking about…when the weight of the battle feels like it will crush you. Lean in to Him with me. Let Him strengthen you and protect you. He is fighting the battle!

Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.

Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.
