The Wannabe God
1 Peter 5
I have previously posted on the need to stay alert and of sober mind as encouraged by Peter. No doubt, Satan is real and we need protection. Protection is afforded through God alone - and God arms us with His Word, the Holy Spirit, the church, etc.
The Bible provides many vivid examples of how God protects us, including how God protected Jesus from Satan in the wilderness, how God protected Daniel from the lion's den, etc.
God is real, able to defeat sin and death, and He always protects us - see also references to other posts here.
Thank You God for how You protect us!
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God - full of love, compassion, mercy, etc. You protect me even though I am not deserving of such mercy - I have sinned in my life and I know that wages of sin are death. But You have rescued me and You continue to rescue me - thank You Jesus! Worry is still active in my life so please forgive me Jesus. I know You tell me not to worry. Help me overcome and turn from such sin and towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Help me love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give me strength. Give Lisa strength. Please heal and cure her of this cancer and the side effects of chemo and radiation. Help me lead and serve Lisa, Zach and Dustin. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. v8
