The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest.” Exodus 14:14 (AMPC)

When others let you down or wear you out, He is there to pick you up and breathe new life to you. The Lord Himself comes to your defense. Imagine!
 
When He speaks, mountains move, thunder roars from heaven and those who are set against you are turned back. Even in the midst of the fiercest battle, you are tucked up safe, under the shadow of His very large wings; out of harm’s way, sheltered and secure.
 
Step out of the conflict zone even now, beauty, in whatever form it takes, and step instead into His strong arms of love. Rest there, though the battle rages on, for victory in Jesus is already accomplished, and assured. Stand firm with the One Who is Peace, Your Champion Defender. Whatever, wherever, or whoever the struggle is with—let Him be the One Who fights for you!
 
He will carry you—nestled close to His heart, and joyously, victoriously, bring you through!

Prayer:
 
Lord, You know the battles within and without. You know how I have worn myself out with worry and the weariness that has come.
 
So today, Father, I take You are Your word. I surrender all that I am fighting for; all that I am fighting against; and all that is fighting against me, to You.
 
Come in Your power and might, in your justice and truth, and set me free. I tuck myself up into Your strong loving care as I hide myself in You.
 
Bring Your miracle deliverance Lord, as only You can do.
 
In Christ’s Holy Name, I pray.
