God's Protection Sýnishorn

Protection in My Battles

One characteristic of a battle is that it possesses a defined time. A battle is not eternal; it’s not for the rest of our lives, but it has an end date. God promises to be with us in the midst of that season in our lives. I know it is difficult, and I know that it is tiring and painful at times.

A character in the Bible who we all know about is king David. He lived through many physical, emotional, and spiritual battles. The author of many of the Psalms, he writes in Psalms 46:1 that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Therefore, the battle does not depend on our skills or the place. It depends on our God who is so mighty that He protects us in the midst of it all. If you are going through a battle in your life, remember this: you are not alone. God gives you protection in the middle of your battles.

In different circumstances we search for our help in trouble in places like the media or people, but it is important to remember that the only safe place is in God. He gives you security, encouragement, and strength in the middle of your battle.

Prayer: God help me in the midst of my battles. Many times I have felt tired and weak. Renew my strength in order to succeed. Thank you for your protection in the midst of the battle. Amen.
