Comfort Me, My Lord

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and suplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints. "
- Ephesians 6:10-18

I just went to another battle today, not a major one, but still, stressful and left my heart and my soul bruised. I may be called as a warfreak before cuz I speak my mind, but with the grace of God, I know I have changed my anger into patience today. I suddenly found myself praying for the enemy while on my way home before facing the battle. For frustrations, we have came up with a drastic move to eliminate the enemy but with God's providence, a stroke of irony miraculously appeared to us, though it's not really a feel good situation. I felt stressed and crushed cuz I really had tiring days these past few weeks and I really feel so drained right now. I am really grateful for my housemates especially Jaren for the comfort she's giving me. Tomorrow is another day and I need to be ready with what's in store for me, with the help of my faith, I know I will still continue my prayers and my hopes for a good news. I have God's armor, and I told myself awhile ago, I will stand still.

Lord, help me recharge my batteries so that I can be ready with all the challenges I will be facing tomorrow and the days to come. Help me and guide me Oh God for positivity and strengthen me with Your kindness. Comfort me with Your love, my sweet Jesus, for I am like a child who needs a hug from her mother. Calm my spirit and mind tonight from all worries and stress that I am experiencing right now. This I ask in Your mighty name. Amen.
