Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 5 Aug 07

As we head into a new week, let us be on guard and expect challenges; expect the Lord’s tests, especially in our character. As I was praying for today’s word of encouragement, God was indicating to me, that many of us feel discouraged already about facing Monday and the upcoming week. The work load, the people we have to work with, deadlines, pressure, stress, it seems so overwhelming.

I pray that today we would be encouraged that we can face tomorrow, with the spirit of God leading us. Jesus goes before us in every situation, it is a matter of us seeking God in prayer, desperately crying out for Him to guide and lead.

God’s hand of protection is around us as we face every challenge, every battle, and every weapon thrown at us by the enemy. Our Father’s shield and armor are around us, nothing can penetrate, nothing can pull us back, and nothing can discourage us from facing our battles with our heads held high.

As we pray tonight for our week ahead, I pray that we will be on guard over every situation that the enemy will throw at us, and be alert. God wants us all to be a blessing to others, and through this watch and see God bring a miracle, a blessing, and answer our prayers over situations.

Psalm 16:8 “I will set the Lord always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will never be shaken.”
