Prayer for Peace of Mind, Don't Let the Devil Stop You!

Regardless of the circumstances, regardless of the pressure, regardless of the delays, don't let the devil stop your progress.

You know God has spoken to you, His word has resounded in your mind over and over. You dream about it, you think about it, you long for it... but every time you try to move forward something thwarts your progress.

That thwarting is the devil. The devil knows if he lets up on you, you will do powerful things for the Kingdom of God.

1 Thessalonians 2:18 is a powerful reminder of Satan stopping Paul from visiting the Thessalonians. It says, Yes, we wanted to come to you. I, Paul, tried more than once to come, but Satan stopped us (ESV).
Do you feel you are unable to make progress on your plans? Did you know that Satan will do whatever it takes to stop you from moving forward?

But, as Paul, we need to continue to fight through without giving up. What amazes me about Paul is he doesn't whine and cry or gives up, he presses through. He doesn't resign himself to defeat, he looks for another way to succeed.

When God gives us a dream, He gives us everything we need to succeed - even when it doesn't look like we will succeed.

Like Paul, let's decide to not give up, let's choose to be determined to move forward every day.
The Word tells us to walk by faith not by site. It's not easy. Not easy at all. When we see our life spiraling down, our money running out, not having a job, marriage failing, kids making poor choices, it's hard to stay focused on the dream.

That is why we say to the devil: NO! You will not win, I AM more than a conquer. I may not see God's plan but I am digging my heels and I WILL NOT give up!

If the devil is blocking you from moving forward, ask the Holy Spirit to show you another route! He not only wants you to get you where you need to go but He wants you to succeed more than you do!
Don't give up, you're worth it!

Lord Jesus, I am praying to you for peace of mind, healing of my thoughts, and hope for my future. Lord, come now; give me strength for this day. Give me strength to say no to the devil and yes to you. Show me how to be more than a conquer as Your word say. Show me how to serve and love you as I should. In Jesus' name. Amen.
