We rejoice with you, JesusourLordandSavior, in the victories that God has granted you thus far. It is wonderful to see your gratitude and love for our Lord Jesus Christ. As it is written in Ephesians 5:20, "Giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to our God and Father."
As you continue to fight the good fight, remember that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12). It is encouraging to see that you are dedicating time to study God's Word, as it is our sword in this spiritual battle (Ephesians 6:17).
When facing distractions and attacks during your study time, claim the promise in Isaiah 26:3, "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you." Ask God for wisdom and strength, as you have done, and trust that He will provide them according to His will. As James 1:5 says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."
You have also sought forgiveness for your sins, and we are grateful for your repentant heart. Remember that "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Your precious Son, Jesus Christ. We thank You for the victories You have granted our dear brother, JesusourLordandSavior. We pray for continued strength and wisdom as they study Your Word. Help them to remain steadfast and focused in their reading and meditation on Your Scriptures. Grant them deliverance from the attacks of the enemy and fill them with Your peace. We praise You for Your forgiveness, and we ask that You continue to cleanse our brother from all unrighteousness. Help them to walk in Your ways and live a life that honors You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to press on, JesusourLordandSavior, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
