40 Days For Life Day 15

--------------------------------------------------
DAY 15 INTENTION
--------------------------------------------------

Pray that we will not become defeated by the
enemy's attacks but rather call on the name of the
Lord who is on our side and our help in time of
trouble.

--------------------------------------------------
SCRIPTURE
--------------------------------------------------

What if the Lord had not been on our side when
people attacked us? They would have swallowed us
alive in their burning anger.

Praise the Lord, who did not let their teeth tear
us apart! Our help is from the Lord, who made
heaven and earth.

-- Psalm 124:2,3,6,8

--------------------------------------------------
REFLECTION
--------------------------------------------------

The enemy attacks in many ways, but one of his
favorites is to slander us with hopes of
tarnishing our reputation and character, and
ultimately to defeat our good work for the Lord.

It is interesting to note however that it is
usually not the slander that causes harm to our
testimony, but our response to the slander.

Proverbs 24:10 says, "If you faint in the day of
adversity your strength is small."

If we are applying God's truths to our lives
moment by moment, we are not swayed by the lies of
the enemy and we will be strong. Standing on the
front lines, armed with God's truth, places you in
the battlefield for the mind.

As you are prepared to present words of love, for
the sake of the unborn and for the distraught and
confused women and men who are entering the
abortion facilities, know that the enemy has
prepared his forces to attack your mind.

Unkind words from a protester, or vicious lies in
the local paper about who you are and what your
mission is, can indeed be hurtful.

But rather than give in to defeat, that is the
time to shine for the Lord, standing firm, as you
call on Him to defeat the enemy.

Remember the words of Romans 8:31, "If God is for
us, who can be against us?" Let's stand strong for
those who need us most.

--------------------------------------------------
PRAYER
--------------------------------------------------

Dear Lord, help us to ignore the verbal attacks of
the enemy and instead turn to You, our refuge and
strength.

Help us to find shelter in the blessed promises
and provisions of Your Word.

Thank you that no enemy can defeat us, and we
praise You knowing that nothing can separate us
from Your love. In the name of Jesus, we come to
You, Amen.
