Blessed be God, my mountain, who trains me to fight fair and well. He’s the bedrock on which I stand, the castle in which I live, my rescuing knight, The high crag where I run for dear life, while he lays my enemies low. Psalm 144:1-2 MSG 

HYMN: "Fight the Good Fight With All Thy Might" - by John S. B. Monsell
Fight the good fight with all your might,
Christ is your strength and Christ your right.
Lay hold on life, and it shall be
your joy and crown eternally.

Run the straight race through God's good grace;
lift up your eyes, and seek His face.
Life with its way before us lies;
Christ is the path and Christ the prize.

Cast care aside, lean on your Guide;
His boundless mercy will provide.
Lean, and the trusting soul shall prove
Christ is its life and Christ its love.

Faint not, nor fear, His arms are near;
He changes not, and you are dear.
Only believe, and you will see
that Christ is LORD eternally. 

Praise & Prayer to fight the fight of faith and to never give up

I praise You, Lord Jesus, for speaking truth to me so that I may learn to trust in You and be victorious in the battle of life. Thank You for going to the cross to fight the great fight and winning the war over the powers of darkness. Even though You were betrayed, tortured, ridiculed, rejected, and put to death, nothing was able to stop You from conquering Lucifer and his demonic army. Holy Spirit, please train me to fight the good fight, to finish my course, and to keep the faith until the day Jesus raises me from death into eternal life. Please use me this day to help ignite newness of hope in someone who is mentally whipped, emotionally conquered, and spiritually defeated. Lord Jesus, please give them a heart of victory as we pray and call upon Your almighty name. Amen.
