If you’re going to battle, then at least take a weapon
What if the annoying, insulting, obnoxious people in your life aren’t the problem?
What if there was a better way to deal with them?
There is.
It’s called prayer.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people (Ephesians 6).
Pray these people come to a knowledge of the truth; that all their ways be ways of love; and that your grace, even amidst the opposition they throw at you would be a powerful witness pointing them to God.
