Share episode

Spiritual warfare requires us to recognize the constant battle between flesh and spirit in our daily lives. Our prayer today focuses on divine guidance, using Galatians 5:16-17 as our foundation to understand how walking in the Spirit helps us resist fulfilling the desires of the flesh.

• Learning to be sensitive and obedient to the Holy Spirit's direction
• Breaking down pride and self to better hear God's voice 
• Submitting to divine authority even when it contradicts our desires
• Saying yes to God's will when it's unpopular or misunderstood
• Trusting God's guidance during economic uncertainty
• Resting in God's provision as our Good Shepherd
• Believing that God makes ways even in wilderness seasons

Keep your wits about you, saints. Despite what's happening around us, God remains in control, still cares for His people, and has a plan even in these challenging times.
