Evil is real. God is real. Are you real?

 📖 “The Lord will keep you from all evil; He will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.” – Psalm 121, verses 7–8

Evil is real. Since the beginning, sin has scarred the world, shaping cultures, relationships, and even the hidden places of our hearts. The enemy uses this brokenness to sow doubt, fear, and division. But as children of God, we are not left defenseless—we are shielded by His promises and covered by His presence. 

In this powerful prayer and reflection, we are reminded of three unshakable truths:

✅ The battle is real, but God’s protection is greater

✅ Satan may attack, but Jesus has already won the victory

✅ We walk through valleys, but never alone—our Savior goes with us 

Maybe you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the darkness in the world, or weighed down by unseen battles in your own heart. This is your reminder: God’s presence is your protection. His Word is your weapon. His Spirit within you is stronger than anything that comes against you. 

Even when the night feels long.

Even when fear tries to take hold.

Even when evil seems louder than truth…

Jesus Christ is still your defender and your shield.

🙏 Let’s pray together—asking the Lord to guard us from every scheme of the enemy, to strengthen our faith in times of battle, and to anchor our hope in the victory of  Jesus Christ.
