Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 9&nbsp;Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong>1 Peter 5:8-9 NLT</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In facing the daily storms in this world of humanity, we are sometimes distracted from our God.&nbsp;The storms of grief, finances and health are the temporary distractions that others are facing as well.&nbsp;The adversary’s goal is to cause us to become stuck, so our faith and our strength given to us by God is weakened. Each of our storms are reasons to refocus on breaking free from the adversary.&nbsp;The Word reminds us to give our storms over to God, while staying alert and praising God so that He gets the glory on the other side of the storm.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong><em>Heavenly Father, thank you for giving me the wisdom to know the challenges that I face daily are temporary, even when they seem permanent. You remind me that you are covering me and there will be glory on the other side of this storm. In Jesus’ name, Amen.</em></strong></p>","author_name":"Memorial Presbyterian Church"}
