We each face battles that are not of our own choosing. Some are arbitrarily forced upon us by life’s circumstances. Others come as a result of our own bad decisions. Many battles fall into the category of spiritual warfare while some are chosen for us by our heavenly Commander in Chief. Though the sources of our battles are many, there is but sure path to victory; we must embrace God’s promise, “The LORD shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” Here we learn that peaceful trust in God alone must be the banner under which we march. Our self-dependence must first be vanquished by God’s wondrous love then and only then we are ready for any fight. Holy Father, my unruliness and fears are defeated by Your love, therefore I forge ahead in the triumph of the vanquished!
