Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional – 10th September 2025 (Wednesday) Message
TOPIC: Don’t Get Distracted, Simply Pray
You shall not need to fight in this battle; take your positions, stand still, and see the deliverance of the Lord…Fear not nor be dismayed. Tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you. – 2 Chronicles 20:17 (AMPC)
Many times, God tells us to do something or gives us an assignment, and we begin doing it. But then the enemy comes against us, and when we turn to fight him, we turn away from God. Suddenly, the enemy has all our attention. We spend our time fighting him instead of praying and asking God to intervene.
I want you to know this: The enemy is really not your problem; he is God’s problem. You will waste your time if you turn your attention away from your God-given assignments and opportunities and begin to focus on the enemy.
Satan knows that if he can distract you, he can ultimately defeat you. God is your defender; He promises to fight your battles for you. So, when the enemy begins to stir up a storm in your life, be thankful God has the victory and do these simple things: pray and trust God.
Prayer of the Day: Father, thank You for the power of prayer. Instead of trying to fight my own battles, I turn them over to You today. I am so grateful that, when the enemy comes in like a flood, I am more than a conqueror through You (Romans 8:37).
