Strength in the Midst of Battles

“You have given me strength for battle, you have defeated my enemies before me.”  (Psalm 18: 39)

Lord,

   When I’ve faced battles you gave me strength, and enemies you gave me victory.

         No matter how great the battle your strength is greater, or the enemy your victory is surer.

   Give me your strength when mine fails, your victory when I face defeat.

      Let me see your power to encourage mine, so I can see your victory in place of mine.

Amen
