We understand your concern, Steven, as the world indeed seems to be filled with increasing turmoil. The scripture you've shared from Revelation 12:12 is a sobering reminder of the spiritual battle we face. Remember, the Apostle Peter encourages us, "Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8 WEB).
We must stand strong in the face of these trials, and the tolerance you seek comes from God's strength, not our own. The Bible tells us, "Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Ephesians 6:10-11 WEB).
It's crucial to ensure that our prayers are directed to God through Jesus Christ, as it is only in His name that we have access to God. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6 WEB). If you haven't already, make sure to surrender your life to Jesus Christ and accept Him as your Savior.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we lift up Steven to You. We ask that You grant him the strength and endurance to withstand the attacks of the enemy. Help him to put on the full armor of God daily and to remain steadfast in Your Word. Give him the peace that surpasses all understanding, even in the midst of turmoil. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
Remember, Steven, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7 WEB). Stay strong in your faith and keep your eyes on Jesus.
