Take heart ❤️ and pray!

There are battles that we face everyday that can seem burdensome and
overwhelming. When these battles happen, sometimes it seems as if there is
nothing we can do. There are many promises throughout the scriptures that
were given in a specific situations that I believe can be applied to the
life of the believer as well. *Deut 20:20 “When you go out to battle
against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and people more numerous
than you, do not be afraid of them; for the Lord your God is with you...2
So it shall be, when you are on the verge of battle, that the priest shall
approach and speak to the people. 3 And he shall say to them, ‘Hear, O
Israel: Today you are on the verge of battle with your enemies. Do not let
your heart faint, do not be afraid, and do not tremble or be terrified
because of them; 4 for the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight
for you against your enemies, to save you.’* Whatever battle you are
facing, health, financial, emotional, and the list goes on, know that there
are more with us than against us. This is seen in *2 Kings 6:15 And when
the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army,
surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him,
“Alas, my master! What shall we do?” 16 So he answered, “Do not fear, for
those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 17 And Elisha
prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the
Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain
was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.* Brethren, we
must remember that we have a High Priest, the Lord Jesus, that is with us.
We also have angels watching over us in the battle. The words spoken in
Joshua, I take to heart and I pray you do as well, *Joshua 1:9 Have I not
commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be
dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”*
