A prayer for those weary from spiritual battle by Maggie Meadows Cooper, read by Lea Martin.

My heart has been heavy for someone I love in recent months.

Endless. There's a constant hamster wheel of ideas turning in my mind of how to be supportive.

The weight on my chest has been so heavy that at times it feels hard to breathe.

And it's fully evident that this battle is not able to be won with earthly strength alone.

The enemy is a master manipulator, liar, evil, devious, and relentless in his pursuit of those

who are trying to break chains and grow closer to the Lord. He knows where to hit them hardest,

and he knows where to hit everyone in their circle hardest. His ploy is to wear us down so that all

seems lost, all seems hopeless, and faith can be replaced with anger, bitterness, and resentment

over which should have been, instead of even more fervent prayers.

My sweet friends, whether you're going to battle for someone you love,

or for yourself, here are five things from 2 Chronicles 20 that the Lord showed me we must remember

when our hearts grow weary. One, when we don't know what else to do, look to Jesus.

2 Chronicles 22 says, oh our God won't you stop them. We're powerless against this mighty army

that's about to attack us. We do not know what to do, but we are looking for your help.

Y'all there have been so many prayers for open and closed doors for wisdom and discernment,

for the right people to be in place at the right time, and there are times earthly doors have

been opened only to be closed, steps forward that quickly become steps backward, and I didn't know

what else to do, but Jesus does. No matter what your mighty army may be, do not forget that his

resources are endless, his plans are good, and his timing is perfect. When you don't know what

else to do, cry out to Jesus. 2 The battle is not ours, but God's. 2 Chronicles 2015 tells us,

This is what the Lord says, do not be afraid. Don't be discouraged by this mighty army,
