7-Jan-2021_a warriors extreme praise
(Praise: ) Thank You Jesus that everything that is happening to me, even today what will happen, is in some way fulfilling Your will, and thus will make us all really, really happy in the end. Somehow, no matter how it looks or feels, so many of the factors of life as we now are living it are in answer to my prayers. 
You truly work in mysterious ways that are past finding out, but are the most effective in winning long-term victories. You do things differently than my childish mind wishes to see them. There is more pain involved in the learning process than I’d wish upon myself. And things take a lot longer than I often have the patience for. So that’s why it’s good it’s not me calling the shots, but You, Lord, who knows what will actually win. 
You know Your enemy well, while I am in the dark most of the time. You see his weaknesses and know how to best rout him, trap him and win the captives to You, for good, in the end, forever. Thank You for playing it right, and not catering to my whims, which would just make far more troubles tumble into my life. You know how to do it right, and thank You, Jesus, for each element that is in my life, that You and Your angels have worked to bring about. No, they aren’t here on a pleasure-me stint. But a to-the-death battle to win back captives to Your cause. 
Help me to be brave when I don’t understand why something needs to be taken away, or why a blow hit me. Help me to engage in warfare through using the weapon of prayer, through praising You, and asking for the Keys to be activated and fight for the good of the lost. If I feel a hurt, let it just remind me to pray for those who are hurting far more and really need their Saviour to come into their heart and mind and change things around for them.
