For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
–Ephesians 6:12
Never give up
He is by your side,
And because he is for you
there’s no reason to hide.
Covered already
by his mighty wing
When attacks come against you
His hand will take the sting.
Pierced open for you
His blood already shed
It’s all covered, all won,
It is finished, he said.
Done. The end.
Finished. Restored.
All we have to do is
trust in our Lord.
The battle is his
Though we partner and fight,
Drawing a line between
Darkness and light.
Never give up
He is for you and me,
But we will rise victorious
Only on bended knee.
…If God is for us who can be against us?
Romans 8:31
When you feel like you’re under attack, remember King Jehoshaphat. When a vast army came against him, he resolved to seek the Lord for help saying, “O our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you” (2 Chronicles 20:12).
The Lord’s response was this: “Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s” (2 Chronicles 20:15).
No matter what we face in life, be it tough people and circumstances, painful pasts, or an uncertain future–we are not alone.
We don’t have to face it on our own. God is with us and is fighting for us.
But, we have to surrender to him, bow our knees in humility to call on him, and allow him to lead.
Let him fight for you, but keep on praying, keep on seeking him, and victory will come.
Never Give Up.

Oh my goodness, I love this, Lindsey! It’s so full of Truth and confirms so many things the Lord has put before my eyes this week! Just when I’m on the verge of saying, “I give up,” He rushes in, through one of His own… like you!… to say, “Oh no you don’t!”
Thank you for being obedient to the Spirit and writing down every single one of these words! Sharing!! Love you!!
I’m glad He used this to encourage you. I’ve read your words of encouragement to #alwayskeepfighting often, and it’s kept me going at times when I’ve really needed it. Honored to spur one another on as we fight the good fight together. Love you!
I love articles with definite tips: “When this happens, try THIS.” The next time I’m under attack, you can bet I will be asking for God’s help just like He helped Jehosephat! Thanks for an encouraging read!
Thanks for reading and commenting!
Blessings!
