Today’s Verse:
"If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, 11in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes." - 2 Corinthians 2:10-11
Prayer for Today :
Heavenly Father,
Satan, whom the Bible refers to as 'the tempter', works on us every second of our lives. Satan will put his bait on the hooks and will wait patiently for us to be tricked. His best bait is all these 1/2 truth and 1/2 lie statements.
Father, wasn't this way he used to trick Eve, our mother of all nations? The serpant (satan) said "You will not surely die, for God knows that when you eat of the apple your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." Father, what satan said was partly true "You will surely not die" - Yes, she didn't die "right at that instance" but because Eve had eaten the apple and she had broken God's rules and hence, she died at the end, because of aging.
Father, help us to understand that there are places we shouldn't go, habits we shouldn't indulge and words we shouldn't say. Father, we don't want to fall into all these satan's traps and make our lives more miserable. Father, help us to turn to You always, when we get into trouble, help us to trust You and to love You. Father, help us to build our relationships with You, help us not to fill our souls with the wrong things. Hence, Father, by Your grace, grant us wisdom to distinguish what is truely good or bad for us. Protect us from satan's evil schemes.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
