Ephesians 6:10-13
1 Passage: Ephesians 6:10-13
1 Verse: Verse 12. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
1 Prayer: Father, please strengthen me for the struggle. You are above all powers, and yet we are faced constantly by their opposition. We are even entangled up in them. Help me not to mistake my opponents for the people who are caught up in their influence and control. Free me from my own complicity in their wickedness. And help me to stand aside and apart and against them by Your goodness and grace.

1 Thessalonians 2:17 -18
1 Passage: 1 Thessalonians 2:17 -18
1 Verse: Verse 18. For we wanted to come to you--I, Paul, more than once--and yet Satan hindered us.
1 Prayer: Father, You alone know better than anyone the things I most deeply want. All my greatest desires are laid open before You. But desire alone is not enough to achieve all those things that I long for the most. You know even better than I do how Satan prevents me from gaining what I want. I know the evil one will not hinder forever. Ultimately, his defeat will become complete. But until then, I am blocked, opposed, resisted, diverted, misled. Deliver me from the evil one. Protect me from his powers. Remove any hindering influence over the events of my life, and yet teach me to stand firm against those that may still remain.

Acts 17:1-9
1 Passage: Acts 17:1-9
1 Verse: Verse 7. ". . . and Jason has welcomed them, and they all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus."
1 Prayer: Thank You, Father, for making Jesus our king. Thank You for accepting me into His kingdom. Thank You for delivering me from the kingdoms of this world and making my first citizenship in heaven and not on earth only. Please help me to walk according to the decrees of my King Jesus, who humbly serves not to aggrandize His own power or unfairly protect Himself or His own cronies or promote His own interests above all others. Allow me to walk as He walked -- in love toward even His enemies, in peace to those who would do violence against Him, in truth when those around Him gained advantage over Him through lies, in self-denying humility and other-affirming gentleness even when force might seem to be the only way to succeed. And I pray that my president -- who claims that Jesus is also his king, though he seems to want to behave more like Caesar -- would learn to act more like Jesus, too.
