Prayer: Armored interior

In the last texts I spoke to you about how the enemy wants to interfere in situations around us to affect our emotions and distance us from the Lord. But God cares more about your inner self and how strong you are in your faith than what happens around you.

If you are in Him, and He is in you, nothing can shake you.

Today I want to pray with you about keeping our emotions and feelings firm in God, so that the enemy has no power or space to act in our lives.

Remembering that you don’t need to pray exactly as I’m going to say here, because I know that everyone has their own way of talking to the Father and I want you to feel comfortable talking to Him in your own way. But if you want, I will be happy to accompany you in this prayer.

Prayer

“Lord, thank you very much for another day. For loving me, for taking care of every step and detail of my life.

At this moment I want to ask you so that, just like in Ephesians 6, I have my being shielded and surrounded by the armor of Christ. May my heart be so focused and attentive to Your words and promises that I am not carried away by the lies of the world around me. I want to turn my eyes completely to Who You are and follow Your dreams for me, with You as the source of all my faith and strength.

God, do not let my ears hear the enemy’s words of accusation. I just want to hear Your voice calling me, because in You I can do much more and I know that, being in Your love, firm in Your paths, nothing can shake me.

Be in each moment, in each decision. Make my body closed to everything that does not come from You. May my spirit be filled only by Your presence and may everything around me be filled with Your love, mercy and grace.

I only exist through You, and I want to be completely a temple of Your Spirit, focusing on seeking Your Kingdom and Your justice, every day frustrating the plans of those who work against You.

This is what I ask of you and I thank you. In the name of Jesus, amen!”

The right place

Throughout life, we are constantly called to make choices. Some seem obvious, attractive, and full of opportunities. Others require faith, patience, and trust in God. The problem is that not everything that looks good to our eyes is truly what is best for our future. The Bible shows us this through the story of Abraham and Lot, a narrative that remains extremely relevant for everyone who desires to live according to God’s will. Appearances can be deceiving “Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan toward Zoar was well watered, like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)” Genesis 13:10 There came a time when Abraham’s and Lot’s flocks had grown so much that the land could no longer support them together. To avoid conflict, Abraham proposed that they separate and gave Lot the opportunity to choose first where he would go. Lot saw a place that, from a human perspective, seemed like the perfect choice. The plain was fertile, abundant, and promising. Everything pointed to prosperity. But Lot evaluated only what he could see. He observed the appearance of the land but ignored […]

Prayer: Running from religious fear

Prayer: Running from religious fear

In the previous text, we talked a little about religious OCD and how it takes our focus away from what Christ truly expects from us. Today, I want to invite you to pray with me about this subject, so that we may feel free in the Father’s presence, seeking Him with love, gratitude, and true peace. You do not need to pray exactly as I will write here. Open your heart genuinely to God. But it will be a pleasure to accompany you in this moment of prayer and seeking. Prayer Father, I know that many times my mind is filled with fear, guilt, and thoughts that steal the peace of my faith. I know that You do not want me to live imprisoned by spiritual anxiety, constantly trying to earn a love that was already given to me on the cross. Teach me to rest in You and to remember that Your love is not sustained by my performance, but by Your infinite grace. When intrusive thoughts come, when the fear of condemnation tries to dominate my heart, and when I feel spiritually overwhelmed, help me remember Your truth. Your Word says that I was not given a spirit […]
