Enduring Spiritual Warfare

DAY 4 OF 4

KEEP PRAYING & TRUSTING THE LORD

The Bible tells a story about the disciples praying for a boy to be delivered from demons and they couldn’t bring a breakthrough. Jesus came along and the boy was immediately set free. 

The disciples had already been used by God to see a breakthrough in other people's lives. What were they failing to do here? Jesus said, "This kind can only come out by prayer." (Mark 9:29)

Jesus was teaching them about prevailing prayer. 

Some things must be prayed through over a period of years. Never lose faith that God can and will move on your behalf. 

But Jesus was also trying to teach them to take their prayer life to another level. For the spiritual battle you are facing, one of the greatest ways you can stand strong is to step up your prayer life:

• Begin a season of extra prayer. Pray more than you normally set aside time to.

• Invite several prayerful friends to seriously pray along with you. Share your struggles or challenges with a confidant, and have them pray along with you.

God's Word tells us to "Endure suffering, as a good soldier of Christ." (2 Timothy 2:3) There will be seasons in life where we simply need to endure, and we can stand strong by stepping up our prayer life, and deepening our trust in God and his goodness.

Be encouraged, that God is working on your behalf as you seek Him, and trust in Him.
