And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.

1 Samuel 27:7 · KJV

Today’s prayer

Written prayer

Dear Lord, as a tree finds its strength to endure from its roots, I too will find my strength in the depths of my roots and from the ground I choose to grow in. In moments of loneliness, give me the resolve and strength to remain planted in the place You’ve called me to. I will not abandon my values and morals to partner with others who offer protection and gain at the cost of my character and right to stand with You. I will not become comfortable with compromise as David and his men did during their season of loneliness in 1 Samuel 28. Because I am new and transformed, I will instead take on the latter spirit of David and fight for what is mine! I will retake and regain what the enemy has stolen from me! Through Your power God, I will be able to reclaim my land, my position and all that belongs to me, my family, and my future. I declare that compromise is not an option!

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
