Deut 31:6 (ESV) Be strong & courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you. Eph 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh & blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Matt 10:28 Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul & body in hell.— O Lord, you who ask us to do the impossible—to bless our enemies, to pray for those who persecute us, & to love those who seek to harm us—we pray that you would do the impossible in us: Help us to love our enemies as you love them & to remember who our true enemy is: Satan & spiritual forces of evil. Protect us from all evil. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Love Mel
