1 Peter 2:11b – “abstain from fleshly desires that war against you.”

War is not a positive word.  In war, there is an enemy that wants to pursue and destroy you.  Believers know there is an enemy, Satan, but often forget about the present war he has on God’s children.  This war can be with flesh, money, power, possessions, pride, etc.

God please protect us from Satan’s attacks.  Allow us to embrace you and trust in that glorious relationship.  Give us the strength to endure through all hardships, and allow us to always live for you.
