We faced conflict from every direction, with battles on the outside and fear on the inside
So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.
And I will be grieved because many of you have not given up your old sins. You have not repented of your impurity, sexual immorality, and eagerness for lustful pleasure.
Lord God,
Protect me from the overwhelming ways of the world, Keep me in your protection and give me discernment over the thoughts I accept as true and remove all that are not of you. Allow my struggles to bring me closer to you and purify my spirit, thoughts and actions to bring you glory.
In Jesus name,
Amen
