Ephesians 6:12. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual wickedness. The true enemy is unseen.
2 Corinthians 10:4. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God. The battle is the Lord's.
Paul unmasks the true enemy as not flesh and blood, and arms the believer with weapons mighty through God. The battle is real, but it is the Lord's, fought standing rather than striving in our own strength.
Father, I do not wrestle against flesh and blood. Arm me, stand for me, and let me fight on my knees rather than in my own strength.
Whom am I treating as an enemy who is really not my battle at all?
For one conflict this week, stop fighting the person and pray instead, taking it to God before you take it to them.
