“This is what the LORD says: Do not be afraid! Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.”
— 2 Chronicles 20:15
In moments of overwhelming difficulty, it’s easy to feel discouraged and afraid. Whether facing great challenges in our personal lives or seemingly insurmountable obstacles in our communities or the world, we can sometimes feel isolated and powerless. However, this verse serves as a powerful reminder that we do not fight our battles alone. God assures us that the struggles we face are not ours to bear; He is on our side, ready to fight on our behalf.
By placing our trust in God, we can find strength and courage. We are reminded to step back, lean into our faith, and allow Him to guide us through our trials. It is in surrendering our fears and doubts to Him that we experience true peace and resilience.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your constant presence in my life. When I feel overwhelmed by my circumstances, help me to remember that the battle belongs to You. Grant me the courage to face each day with faith, knowing that You are fighting for me. Help me to trust in Your plans and to find peace in the storms of life. May I always lean on You for strength and guidance. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
