🕊️ PRAY HERE Devotion 🕊️ “God Will Fight for You”

Scripture: Exodus 14:14 (NIV)

“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

Devotion: Have you ever felt like NOBODY had your back? Or like you might lose simply because you didn’t have support? As living souls, we all naturally desire to be protected, defended, and taken care of. Many of us do this for ourselves because we never had anyone else to do it. Others depend on the people they love for it, making their support a source of security.

But the truth is this: God wants to be the source for us all.

He has proven to me personally that He is the MOST FAITHFUL and RELIABLE One when it comes to protecting and defending His children. Growing up as the eldest child, I always had to be the strong one for everybody. I never had that same safety or security for myself; until one day I read today’s scripture and decided to apply it to my life.

I stopped feeling the need to defend myself or fight every battle.

I took Exodus 14:14 to heart and obeyed it.

And when I did, the Lord Himself began fighting for me; and He has NOT stopped. “THANK YOU GOD!”

Let’s dive into this life-changing verse.

The Israelites had finally escaped Pharaoh, but they were terrified they wouldn’t survive. They became trapped between the Red Sea in front of them and Pharaoh’s army coming up behind them. Fear hit them hard. Moses could have panicked too, but strong faith wins every time. Instead, he strengthened them with the truth God gave him:

“The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

Their trust in God, strengthened by Moses’ confidence, led them to victory. They didn’t have to swing a sword, argue, panic, or say a word. And if you keep reading, you’ll see that God made a way of escape by parting the Red Sea right before their eyes!

You don’t have to argue.

You don’t have to fight.

You don’t have to silently lose battles God never told you to fight.

When we handle things on our own, we respond with anger, bitterness, hurt, and frustration. That usually makes the situation worse and still doesn’t fix the problem or clear our name. But when God fights for you, you win AND keep your peace, character, and dignity intact.

Let God fight for you; and you will ALWAYS WIN.

Prayer: Father, thank You for fighting the battles I cannot see and the ones I cannot handle. Teach me to be still and trust You when I feel afraid or unprotected. Remove the urge to defend myself and replace it with confidence in Your power. Fight for me, Lord, and let Your victory and Your peace cover every area of my life.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
