The Bible tells us of the many battles that Joshua fought. His battles were against a literal enemy with physical weapons. Most of us face different kinds of battles. Battles of varied degrees of difficulty. No matter the battle you are facing today, God has told us several times in the Bible that we can be courageous. The reason we can be courageous – is that God is with us. Those of us who have trusted in Jesus to save us from our sin have the ministry of the Holy Spirit. He helps us with the many problems we find in our lives. I am so thankful God has provided help for the battles I will face.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the many ways You help us to be strong and courageous. Please help us to remember that You are willing to give strength as we come to You for help.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.
