Greetings Prayer Warriors,
The events of this week have taken our minds off of COVID-19, but news of senseless killings only heighten anxiety, fuel discord, and remind us of the increasing lack of kindness and respect for human life in this world. The Evil One is seeking to divide and create chaos. It is imperative we as warriors go into battle prepared to fight the spiritual fight.
Draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power. Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil. For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens. Ephesians 6:10-12
Victories do not come without much prayer. As the Lord encourages us to follow Him, we are reminded we are asked to walk the way of the cross.
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, and over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection. Colossians 3:12, 14
Do not worry if you feel weak in strength, fortitude, or perseverance, for you only need to be strong in faith.
“My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.”
2 Corinthians 12:9
Draw your family more intentionally into prayer. If you can, pray the rosary, the most powerful spiritual weapon around. Ask the Lord for an outpouring of grace so all of humanity may be given new hearts capable of loving one another as Christ has loved us. Pray for all those who lost their lives this week, especially those who were the victims of racism and hate.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Love and prayer are the answer. Pass it on!
