A Fortress Against the Evil One

Not by my strength, but by Your grace, I seek the refuge of Your face. When evil’s whisper fills the air, I turn to You in fervent prayer. “Deliver us from the evil one.”(Matthew 6:13)

I stand upon the solid ground, Where truth and righteousness are found. No weapon forged shall bring me fear, For You,my Savior, are ever near. “No weapon forged against you will prevail.”(Isaiah 54:17)

I take the shield, the helmet, sword, The Spirit’s might,in one accord. I stand resistant,firm, and brave, For it is Your great power who saves. “Take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.”(Ephesians 6:16)

You are a fortress, strong and tall, The one on whom I gladly call. The enemy must flee,must cease, Beneath the banner of Your peace. “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”(James 4:7)

So let no evil thought take hold, No subtle lie or story told. My mind is guarded by Your word, By promises I’ve seen and heard. “The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds.”(Philippians 4:7)

I am redeemed, I am set free, By blood that was shed upon the tree. No curse,no darkness, no ill fate, Can stand before Your mighty gate. “You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.”(1 John 4:4)

In Jesus’ name, the name above, Filled with His mercy and His love, I walk in safety,whole, secure, Your victory is my assurance,pure.

Amen.
