A Prayer For Standing Firm

Father, we want to stand firm in Your will, maturing in our faith, and we desire full assurance that You will lead us in the paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake. Just like Epaphras who wrestled in prayer for his brothers and sisters in the faith, help us to wrestle in prayer for our loved ones, and our brothers and sisters in the faith who wage war against the enemy. Our intercessory prayers are not waging war against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world. How reassuring that You have the ultimate authority to intervene and give us victory in these ongoing struggles with good and evil. Amen.
