“But I say his reign of terror stops here. Stops now. He might keep coming, but he won’t have victory anymore. Because it all starts failing when we start praying.” - Priscilla Shirer
I love this powerful quote. In it, Shirer is referring to the hold that Satan has over our lives- a power he only gets to keep if we let him. She says that through the mighty power of prayer, the Lord works wonders and allows us to overcome our enemy. Are you feeling spiritually attacked this week? I find that it's when I am the most tired, busy, and frustrated that Satan tries to feed me messages like, "God doesn't care about you." Before those moments of weakness ever hit, I need to immerse myself in prayer. I need to pray daily that God will protect my heart, mind, and soul. And when those doubts creep in, or I am faced with temptation, I need to stop what I am doing and pray. If we truly believe that our God is above all things, that He loves us, and that He is with us, then we need to stay connected to Him through prayer! When we don't know what to do, He is our Rock. When we are going through tough times, He is our provision. Even when we stumble, He is our Salvation. Whatever you are going through this week, bring it to the One who holds it all in His hands.
"The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." James 5:16
