It
is interesting to note that much external opposition exists to frustrate our
walk and growth in Christ. However, there is an enemy that we must all face;
that is, the enemy of self. We may be able to escape people, circumstances, and
situations, but where can you run from yourself. Every Christian has to come to
a place where they ask God to deliver them from themselves.
Keep
back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not
have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Psalms 19:13 (KJV)
David prayed that God would keep him
from personal sins and weaknesses; that the things that he may want to do would
not have dominion over him. This is to be our prayer. Once we have received
forgiveness and freedom in Christ, we are not to allow the desires of the flesh
to rule us.
When we ask God to deliver us from
ourselves, we set ourselves us for victory in every area of our lives. Let your
prayer be this day, “Deliver Me from Me.”
Prayer of the Weel:
“I
thank you for the truth that your power to deliver extends to my internal
struggles with self. I praise you for present and future freedom. Amen.”
