We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. 410:4 English translations divide verses 4 and 5 in various ways.We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. 5We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ. 

Lord God my Father,

Guide me in how you wish me to influence others, keep my heart in your care, protect me from becoming proud because of my service.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
