Image via WikipediaPsalms 69: 18—“Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.”
Everyone has enemies, some you may not even be aware of. As a Christian, there will often be someone against you. This is why it is very important to ask God to redeem you, come into your life, and deliver you from your enemies. This is a daily battle. One weak spot or another will be a source of attack or testing. Build up your areas of weakness when you are aware of them so they cannot be exploited by others. Do not share your weaknesses, worries, or fears with others. Often these are the areas people will use against you emotionally. Sometimes a weakness will be used against you and the person is not completely aware they are doing it. Regardless, if you had not told them the weakness they could not use it. Tell God your weakness, worries, fears, and doubts. Let him take care of them. Otherwise, keep them to yourself. Others do not need to know what you are dealing with on any given day. In this way, you can shrink the areas of vulnerability in your daily walk. There will not be nearly as many opportunities for others to play on your weaknesses. Allow God to be your confidante instead of other people. Then, trust him to take care of things so you need not worry or fear.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for saving my soul. I pray, Lord, that I live my life according to your will and trust you to take care of my enemies. Help me, Lord, keep my areas of weakness between you and me. I trust you will help me overcome. I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
