Let Jesus Be LORD

27 And they came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to Him, 28 and they said to Him, “By what authority are You doing these things, or who gave You this authority to do them?” 29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question; answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Was the baptism of John from heaven or from man? Answer Me.” 31 And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 32 But shall we say, ‘From man’?”—they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John really was a prophet. 33 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.” ~ Mark 11:27-33

The next morning, Tuesday, they arrived again in Jerusalem, and while Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders came to Him, and it was like they attacked Him, ‘By what authority are You doing these things?’ ‘And who gave You authority to do this?’ But Jesus was and is way smarter than they were and would not allow Himself to be trapped by their questions. So, instead of giving them a right-out answer, He, instead, asked them a question in order to receive an answer. He asked about John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or of human origin? But they were on their toes. They knew Jesus was clever and was always trying to lead them to admit and receive the truth. So, after discussing it among themselves, they simply answered, ‘We don’t know.’ So Jesus wouldn’t answer their question either.

See, Jesus didn’t just toss out a random question when He asked about John’s baptism—He was shining a light on the hearts of those chief priests, scribes, and elders. He knew their question about His authority wasn’t sincere; they wanted to trap Him, not learn from Him. By asking, “Was John’s baptism from heaven or from men?” Jesus cleverly turned the tables. John had pointed straight to Jesus and proclaimed Him the Messiah, so if they admitted John’s work was from God, they’d have to face their own rejection of Jesus. It was like Jesus was saying, “You already know the answer, but will you admit it?” His question wasn’t just a debate tactic—it was an invitation to truth, a chance for them to see that He was sent by God. But their hearts were too hard, too tangled up in pride and power to take that step. Jesus’ wisdom left them speechless, showing us He’s not just smart—He’s the Truth itself, calling us to trust Him fully.

Those religious leaders squirmed under the pressure and finally muttered, “We don’t know,” because they were caught between a rock and a hard place. Say John’s baptism was from heaven, and they’d have to explain why they ignored him and, by extension, Jesus. Say it was just human, and they’d lose the crowd, who loved John as a prophet. So they dodged the question, too scared of the people and too stubborn to face the truth about Jesus. Their answer wasn’t just a cop-out; it showed they cared more about looking good than knowing God. It’s a warning for us—when we dodge Jesus’ call or question His place in our lives, we’re not fooling Him. He sees our hearts, just like He saw theirs. That’s why this moment matters—it’s Jesus asking us, too, to stop hiding and let Him be LORD, no matter what it costs.

Heavenly Father, lead me in the truth of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Help me to submit totally to Him and let Him be LORD of my life. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.

Let’s Cleanse Our Temples

And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them, ‘It is written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer,” but you make it a den of robbers.” ~ Matthew 21:12–13

Matthew recalls Jesus riding triumphantly into Jerusalem and heading straight to the Temple. Mark places this event on the next day, Monday. Either way, Jesus had just entered Jerusalem on a donkey, accompanied by a very large crowd. Only two or three days earlier, He had raised Lazarus to life after four days in the tomb. Now, whether Sunday or Monday, Jesus strode into the Temple, angry at the chaos unfolding there. He overturned the money-changers’ tables, drove out the animals, and shouted, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers!”

Why the focus on pigeons? Because the poor offered pigeons. If they couldn’t afford a lamb or goat for a sin offering, God allowed a pigeon or turtledove (Leviticus 5:7). It seems the money-changers, backed by the religious leaders who profited from this trade, were cheating the poor. The rich had servants to bring their lambs, bulls, or goats, but the poor rarely had advocates. They were taken advantage of, cheated, oppressed, and often overlooked, while the rich were exalted and frequently did the exploiting.

Jesus was outraged by this injustice. His heart burned for righteousness, justice, and fairness (Proverbs 1:3). It angered Him that the religious leaders, entrusted with God’s Temple, allowed such corruption in the House of Prayer. He hasn’t changed, nor have His apostles. In his letter, James, the brother of the LORD, speaks boldly about the rich, even accusing them of dishonoring and oppressing the poor (James 2:6-7). Wealth isn’t wrong—many rich people are godly—but it’s a problem when the poor are trampled in the process. So, Jesus overturned the tables, scattered the money, and drove out the animals to cleanse the Temple.

What about you? What mess lingers in your temple? Paul reminds us,

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Have you cleaned lately? Clutter defiles our hearts—greed and apathy cheat us of holiness. Anger and malice disrupt our worship. Distractions and busyness steal our prayer and worship time with God, turning our temples into dens of thieves. I urge you to overturn the tables of your money-changers and drive out life’s distractions. Don’t let these thieves and moneychangers defile your temple.

Heavenly Father, You are the vinedresser; please come and prune the branches that are producing fruit so that they can produce more fruit. Please cut out the branches that are not producing fruit at all so that I can produce even more fruit. Let this Easter week be a week of pruning and cleansing so that I may live a life pleasing to You, in Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.

Laying Down Your Cloak

8 Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 And the crowds that went before Him and that followed Him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the LORD! Hosanna in the highest!” 10 And when He entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” 11 And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.” ~ Matthew 21:8-11

Picture the scene: Jerusalem is abuzz with the news. Lazarus, a man dead for four days, has been raised to life by the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee. And now He’s on His way to Jerusalem. The crowd that had gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate Passover is electric with excitement. And here He comes, Jesus riding in—not on a flashy stallion like some Roman big shot, but on a borrowed donkey, kicking up dust. The crowd rushes together and, as one man, begins to shout, “Hosanna!”—which means “Save us, please!”—now the whole company of people is joining in the chorus. The noise is so loud that it seems like it is shaking the ground, which catches the attention of the Pharisees who stand aloof, watching.

The crowd rips off their own cloaks and throws them down as others run to cut palm branches, and run back to lay the palm branches down in front of Jesus along with their cloaks, turning the road into a makeshift red carpet as He slowly makes His way up the hill toward the Temple. Those cloaks weren’t just old rags. For many, a cloak was protection from the sun, a blanket at night, a cover from the wind, or maybe it was their one decent piece of clothing. Laying it down was a sacrifice, a way of saying, “Jesus, you’re worth more than my comfort.”

Ask yourself, what’s my cloak? Is it your schedule, packed so tight there’s no room for God? Your reputation, where you’d rather look good than be real? Maybe it’s a grudge you’re wearing like a second skin. Laying it down means trusting Jesus enough to let go, but it might just cost you something. Now consider this for a moment. The crowd that day is all-in, shouting “Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the LORD!” They’re actually calling Jesus the Messiah, the King of Israel, the one they’ve been waiting for. The problem is, they wanted a king to fix their problems their way—kick out the Romans, make life easy, give us self-government. But Jesus isn’t here for their script. He’s on a donkey, not a warhorse, heading toward a cross, not an earthly throne.

How often do we cheer for Jesus when He fits our plans—a better job, healed relationship, smooth sailing—but get shaky when He leads us somewhere uncomfortable? Palm Sunday’s a gut-check: Are we welcoming the real Jesus, or just the version we’ve dressed up in our heads? And then there’s the shadow hanging over the party.

Jesus knows this crowd is fickle. Some of these same voices yelling “Hosanna” will scream “Crucify Him” in five days. He knows that all too well. But it’s not just about them—it’s us, too. We’ve all got moments where we’re loud for God at a worship night or when life’s good, but we go silent when the job’s stressful, the diagnosis hits, or following Jesus means standing out in a way that feels risky.

The cloaks on the road are a beautiful gesture, but Jesus isn’t after our stuff—He’s after our hearts. Not just for a parade, but for the long, messy road to the cross and beyond. So, what does it look like to lay down your cloak not just for a moment, but as a way of life? Maybe it’s choosing to trust Him daily, even when the path feels uncertain. Maybe it’s admitting you don’t have it all together and letting Him meet you there. Palm Sunday is a mix of joy and tension—celebration, surrender, and a hint of what’s coming. It’s Jesus saying, “I’m your King, but I’m doing this My way, for your sake.” And it’s us, invited to join the crowd—not just with our voices, but with our whole lives.

Heavenly Father. Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the Cross for us. Thank You for Your obedience to the Father, LORD Jesus. I praise You for all You did, and all You went through for us. Help me to live for You now, and forever. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.

An Unleavened Feast

14This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord; throughout your generations, as a statute forever, you shall keep it as a feast. 15 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven out of your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel. 16 On the first day you shall hold a holy assembly, and on the seventh day a holy assembly. No work shall be done on those days. But what everyone needs to eat, that alone may be prepared by you. 17 And you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day, throughout your generations, as a statute forever. 18 In the first month, from the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month at evening. 19 For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses. If anyone eats what is leavened, that person will be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a sojourner or a native of the land. 20 You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwelling places you shall eat unleavened bread. ~ Exodus 12:14-20

After the Passover lamb was slaughtered and the people of Israel partook in the Passover, the next day they were to remove the leaven from their homes. Anyone who did not would be cut off from Israel. Why? Because the Passover lamb foreshadowed Jesus and partaking in Passover foreshadowed accepting His free gift of salvation. So, what about removing the leaven? The Israelites had been slaves in Egypt for 400 years. They had been influenced by the Egyptian culture and religion as they had no leader, judge, king, or law to guide them during these years. So, they began to take on and participate in the sins of their slave masters, the Egyptians.

The Feast of Unleavened Bread was a reminder of the LORD bringing the people out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. God was saying, I am physically removing you from slavery, now remove the leaven from among you so that I might foreshadow that one I will remove you from spiritual slavery. Leaven is a representation of sin (1 Corinthians 5:6-7). When the Passover lamb was slaughtered and the Israelites partook in the Passover, they were spiritually partaking in the taste of the salvation that has come through Jesus Christ, our final, perfect Passover Lamb.

There is nothing in the Bible that the LORD has done or said arbitrarily. Each and every thing was done with a purpose. It was done to foreshadow the good things to come. It was done to foreshadow the terrifying things to come. Each and every moment, no matter how insignificant it may seem, was done in order to prepare us for what has come and what will come.

Dear LORD, thank You for making a way for us to come to You. Thank You for all Your many blessings upon me. Please help me to not just partake in the Passover meal, but to remove the leaven from my home as well. Help me to crucify my own flesh, so that Your will might be done in my life. Help me not to make Your sacrifice null and void because I refuse to remove the leaven. Help me to live for You, LORD Jesus. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.

A Passover Feast

Exodus 12:5-13NIV

[5] The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats. [6] Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight. [7] Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs. [8] That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast. [9] Do not eat the meat raw or boiled in water, but roast it over a fire—with the head, legs and internal organs. [10] Do not leave any of it till morning; if some is left till morning, you must burn it. [11] This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the Lord’s Passover. [12] “On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord. [13] The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.

The Passover is the feast in remembrance of the LORD passing over all who had the blood of the sacrificed lamb on the doorposts. This was the protection given to all who listened and obeyed. A protection against what? The Destroyer coming through the land of Egypt and striking down the first born. So, the LORD, when He saw the blood, would stop the Destroyer from entering the home of any person who had the blood on their doorposts.

This feast foreshadowed the LORD God Himself coming in the form of man and dying on the cross. Three days later, He rose from the dead and ascended to the father to sprinkle His blood in the altar in Heaven. Just as the blood was brushed on the doorposts, we, as Christians are washed and covered in the blood of Christ. Why? So that when the LORD comes to bring judgment on the earth by pouring out His wrath, He will look for His blood, see it, and call us to Himself so that we might not be caught in this wrath.

Dear LORD, thank You for Your sacrifice. Thank You for Your promise of redemption. Please help me to live my life striving to be worthy of Your precious and holy blood. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.

Another Moses

15 The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your fellow Israelites. You must listen to Him. ~ Deuteronomy 18:15NIV

Before Moses died, he reassured the people that the LORD would send them another prophet like him, from among their own people. Moses had been saved from the decrees of pharaoh to be thrown in the river. That very river brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, who would pay his own mother to nurse him until he was old enough to be given to pharaoh’s daughter. He was raised in the palace of Pharaoh free from the persecution his people felt, yet he willingly risked it all to try to help his own.

This led to him fleeing for his own life and ending up a stranger in a strange land. There, he became a shepherd, a husband, and a father. He was free, enjoying life when the LORD called him back to Egypt. So, what does Moses do? The risks it all once again and goes to help his people. Then, throughout their deliverance, and even after, they complain to him. They blame him for their hardships.

Then, when God met with them, he was the only one who went into the presence of God and therefore became the bridge between God and man. Jesus’ story is similar but more intense.

He wasn’t just a guest in a foreign king’s home. No. He was the King of kings and LORD of lords seated on His own throne in Heaven. Free from all pain, suffering, and want, only to freely give it up to take on the from of a servant. He felt hunger, thirst, pain, suffering, and even temptation. All of this for the world He knew would ultimately reject Him and even crucify Him.

What’s the major difference between them? Moses physically delivered his people, but Christ physically, spiritually, and emotionally delivered all people willing to believe in Him. This deliverance was not for just a moment but is for all eternity. As Moses died, Christ also died, but the biggest difference is that Christ rose three days later. This is the most important difference.

Christ died but rose again to never die again. This is our hope. To die to sin and live to Christ. To look forward to His physical return, but even as He is physically in Heaven, His Holy Spirit dwells in us, and He lives through us. So we are not alone.

Dear LORD, thank You for Your promises fulfilled. Thank You for Your great sacrifice that freed me from my sin. Help me to not make light of Your sacrifice nor take it for granted. Teach me to lean on Your Holy Spirit and hear Your guiding whisper. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.

A Hardened Heart

21 The Lord said to Moses, “When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do. But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go.” ~ Exodus 4:21NIV

I’ve heard many people say that God creates people for destruction and others for reward. To prove this, many like to use Pharaoh in the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Romans, as an example. I personally believe they’re not fully understanding what Paul was saying.

I believe that God gives each person the chance to repent until judgment has come, then He turns them over to their own desires. If we look at the story of Pharaoh and the Exodus from Egypt, Pharaoh’s heart originally was not hardened by God. Pharaoh, when told what the LORD said, not only said “who is the LORD that I should obey Him?” but he made their slavery and oppression even harder.

The Bible recounts that Pharaoh hardened his own heart. It’s not until the plagues begin to play out, and they’re halfway over that we set the LORD harden the heart of Pharaoh and seal his fate.

The LORD says that He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 18:32 & Ezekiel 33:11). Peter testifies that the LORD is patient towards us, not desiring that any should perish (2 Peter 3:19). This is the great it the LORD, true love for His creation, but He is also good and just in all His ways. Therefore, He is bound by His own nature, which is law, that He must punish the wicked.

So, when Pharaoh hardens his own heart time and time again and refuses to see the LORD’s signs, repent, and let His people go, the LORD turns him over to a hardened heart. Why? So that judgment might be brought out upon him, his people, and his gods.

This isn’t the only time we see this either. Paul prophesies a coming Great Delusion from the LORD. A turning over of all the wicked to their own wickedness that they might be judged because of their own wickedness.

So, what are we to do? We, as my aunt so eloquently said this past Sunday, must break up the fallow ground of our hearts so that His Word would fall on good soil and not on hardened soil. The LORD places before each of us life and death. So choose life. Tomorrow is promised to no man. We never know when we will take our last breath, neither do we know when we will be turned over to our own desires and harden our heart, as He did Pharaoh’s, sealing our fate

Dear LORD, please forgive me for every time I have hardened my heart against Your word. Please break up the fallow ground of my heart that I might not be against Your Word. Show me what is in me that needs to be removed. Renew in me a right spirit, oh LORD, that I might not be lost to my own desires. Help me to crucify my flesh daily so that I might be with You for all eternity. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.

Plagues For Punishment

Exodus 3:18-20 NIV

[18] The elders of Israel will listen to you. Then you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the LORD our God.’ [19] But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand compels him. [20] So I will stretch out my hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go.

Ten plagues were shown as ten signs, and after each sign the Pharaoh said he’d let the people of Israel go, if the plague was just removed. Ten times he promised and ten times Pharaoh broke his promise. This is significant.

Ten is the number of covenant. Ten promises to let the LORD’s people go only to refuse after each one. Pharaoh, without realizing it, had set himself up against the LORD as an enemy. Pharaoh kept the Covenant people of God in slavery away from Him. So, what did God do? He brought down ten plagues on Egypt, its Pharaoh, and its gods. Pharaoh kept the Covenant people of God away from God, so God punished Pharaoh.

Pharaoh still refused to let the people of God go, even go as to change his mind each time he agreed to let them go. Pharaoh eventually drowned with his men in the Red Sea.

When we refuse to bow our knee to God, we set ourselves up against Him as His enemy. And when we set ourselves up against God, then we stand no chance of winning, for who can defeat the creator of the universe and all within it?

Dear LORD, please forgive me for each time I have hardened my heart against You and refused to let go of my flesh. Soften my heart. Give me a new heart and renew a right spirit in me. Hear me from Heaven, LORD. Forgive my sin and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Help me to follow You with all that is within me. Help me to love You with all that is within me. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.

A Friend In High Places

Exodus 7:10-13 NIV

[10] So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the Lord commanded. Aaron threw his staff down in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a snake. [11] Pharaoh then summoned wise men and sorcerers, and the Egyptian magicians also did the same things by their secret arts: [12] Each one threw down his staff and it became a snake. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs. [13] Yet Pharaoh’s heart became hard and he would not listen to them, just as the Lord had said.

Moses and Aaron went before Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and gave him a sign that the LORD had spoken to them. Aaron took his staff, threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent. This didn’t impress Pharaoh, as he understood that the enemy also had power. So, he called in his magicians, and they did the same thing by their magic arts.

I honestly think the scene from The Prince of Egypt truly does a great job embodying that moment. The chief priests and magicians came in the power of like 20+ gods, but Moses (and Aaron) came in the name of only one. The chief priests and magicians were so caught up in trying at their own power and authority over Moses and Aaron that they didn’t even realize that their serpents were swallowed up by the one serpent.

It truly doesn’t matter how many gods you come in the name of. It doesn’t matter how important you believe you are. There is only one God and He alone has all the power and all the authority. Darkness may be able to mimic certain things He does, but never can they truly mimic the power. The prince of Egypt shows but two serpents, but I believe that their were more than just two high priests and magicians standing over Moses and Aaron taunting them with their staff that has now turned into a serpent.

And Aaron’s staff ate each and every one of them. Darkness may be able to imitate the appearance of God, but it can never Imitate His power. There is only one God and only one name by which we can be saved. The world can try to duplicate or imitate salvation, peace, love, joy, etc. but these things can truly only be found in the LORD.

Dear LORD, please forgive me for all the time that I sought the world to fill me instead of you. Please forgive me for all the times I didn’t go in your power but tried to do it in my own. Please open my eyes so that I may see that it is You and You alone that holds the power and authority. Help me to seek You and Your Kingdom and my own. Help me to seek You, oh LORD, and not the things of this world that are mere temporary imitations of the real gifts You have promised me. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.

The World of “Who?”

1 Afterward Moses and Aaron went and said to Pharaoh, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.’” 2 But Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and moreover, I will not let Israel go.” ~ Exodus 5:1-2

A new Pharaoh had risen to power in Egypt during the years that Moses had spent in Midian. When Moses and Aaron present their case before him, the very first thing Pharaoh says to them is “Who is the LORD?” Let that sink in for a second. Pharaoh wasn’t just saying, “explain to me who your God is because I have never heard of Him.” Pharaoh is saying, “I don’t care who your God believes he is. Who is He to command me to let Israel go? Does He not know who I am?” Keep in mind that Pharaoh wasn’t just a regular king. His magicians turned their staffs to serpents, water to blood, and even called up frogs on the land just as Aaron had done, so Pharaoh knew that he and his gods had some form of power. The problem was that Pharaoh’s pride didn’t allow him to hear out the God of Israel. He didn’t feel the need to take a chance on hearing what the GOD of gods had to say to him.

Today is no different. We have those in power who enslave and oppress the people of God. We have people who don’t even want to acknowledge or give a single second to the LORD God Almighty. And, much like Pharaoh, God then turns them over to their own hearts’ desires. A heart that desires nothing of God, but only hates Him and His people.

But just as Pharaoh was brought low and humbled before the LORD, so will those who refuse to listen to the Words of the LORD and refuse to let the people of God go. Their slavery and oppression don’t always look blatantly like slavery and oppression, especially here in the West. Today, that slavery and oppression are more times than not, found in the spiritual form of depression, anxiety, and suicide. Our average college students, according to a study a few years ago, have the same anxiety levels as someone who was hospitalized and placed in an asylum less than 70 years ago.

The Church we are today is very much oppressed and enslaved. It feels like pastors are being exposed and falling from grace every other day. Well-known Church people are falling victim to suicide’s lies. And what does the world continuously say to anyone who would dare suggest Jesus as freedom? “Who is the LORD that we should obey His voice?” But just as Pharaoh was humbled, so will the world be humbled in our generation, but only when His people who are called by His name will humble themselves, repent of their sins, and cry out to the LORD for help.

Dear LORD, I’m sorry for all the times I have accepted defeat and allowed myself to remain enslaved because it felt to hard or too impossible to see a victory. Please forgive me. Please cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Please hear my cry, oh LORD, and send a deliverer. Send someone who can speak on our behalf so that we might be freed from this present darkness. Please help me to learn to pick up my spiritual armor and fight this spiritual battle that I cannot avoid nor can I ignore. I pray that You would always be with me and guide me throughout the rest of my days. Help me to fulfill what You once told Peter that when I turn back to You, I will help strengthen my fellow Church members. Thank You, LORD, for never giving up on me. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
