I Don’t Fight My Battles Series - Part I

Text:

“The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Exodus 14:14 (NIV)


Reflection:

Life sometimes feels like a battlefield, filled with struggles, challenges uncertainties, and moments when we feel outnumbered or overwhelmed. Our natural response is to take control, to strategize, and fight with our own strength. Yet God reminds us that the battle is not ours—it is His. When the Israelites stood trapped between the Red Sea and Pharaoh’s army, they could not see a way out. But Moses spoke the words of faith: “The LORD will fight for you.”


God’s presence in our lives means we are never alone in any fight whether spiritual or physical. He is our Defender, He is our Shield, and our Deliverer. The enemy may rise against us, but the victory belongs to the Lord (2 Chronicles 20:15). Our role is to trust, stand firm, and surrender our fears to Him. When we stop striving in our own strength and rest in His power, we see His mighty Hands work on our behalf.


Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we thank You for reminding us that we do not fight my battles alone. You are our Protector and our Defender. Teach us to trust in Your strength and not rely on our own understanding. When fear tries to take hold, remind us that You have our backs and already secured the victory through Jesus Christ. Help us to be still, to stand in faith, and to walk in peace knowing that the battle belongs to You. In Jesus Christ's name, Amen.

True victory is not just surviving the storm—it’s returning with a song, walking in peace, and standing as a living testimony that God is faithful.

When we choose to praise in the midst of uncertainty, fear, or trial, we are declaring our faith in the God who fights for us.

Likewise, many of the battles we face be it sickness, fear, loss, opposition, or uncertainty are beyond our ability to win on our own.
