Welcome to the in touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Friday, June 21st.

Let's continue Dr Stanley's life principal series to discover why stressful situations require a godly response, not an emotional reaction.

Well, there's a battle raging everywhere you turn today, whether it's internationally or whether it's in your own home.

People are fighting and battling against all kind of things.

Sometimes those battles are external, battles between you and someone else.

Sometimes it's an internal battle.

That is something that you're battling with yourself about.

It could be some animosity, some unforgiveness,

it could be some hurt, some feeling of rejection.

Or it could be something deep down inside of you. You're not even aware of what it is, but you know that something's not right.

How do you deal with these things? These are battles

we go through in life. Do you argue? Do you fuss? Do you literally fight? Or do you know

the best way? What I want to talk about in this message is the best way.

Listen, I'm going to talk about how to win every single battle no matter what it is.

You say, well that's impossible, no no it's not and I will show you why

The most important thing in our life is our personal intimate relationship with him but that to be right we must have the right kind of prayer life. So what I want to talk

about in this message is simply this, fight your battles on your knees. And I want you to turn

to the 26th chapter of Matthew, and this is an incident of the vital part of the life of Christ in this 26th chapter beginning in verse 36.

Just read a few verses here because Jesus is a perfect pattern

of what we're going to talk about and you recall that he's been trumped up and

now he's in the garden and if all these false charges

against him and the scripture says in verse 36 is he's battling it out with the father.
