One day I was listening to a song called surrounded (fight my battles) by Upperroom.
I was doing boxing motions every time the song said, "this is how I fight my battles." While doing that, I saw my aunt singing along, but she had her hands in a prayer position. It made me think. My boxing said I am fighting my battles, while my aunt said God is fighting her battles.
Let God fight your battles. God knows everything, and He knows how to fight for you. God knows your future, and your future is bright. God wants to fight the battles for you.
Imagine you have a bodyguard. You have a huge, strong, Armed, well-skilled bodyguard. When trouble comes, would you try to fight all by yourself, or would you let your very willing bodyguard take care of it for you?
God is always on your side, and He wants to take care of you. He wants you happy, whole, and free from every strife. Don't stress over any troubles that come your way. God has you; He knows all you are going through. God will take care of you; you must always believe that.
In the bible, Matthew 6:25-35 (using the message translation MSG)
It says:
25 "If you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don't fuss about what's on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body.
26 Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds.
27 "Has anyone by fussing in front of the mirror ever gotten taller by so much as an inch?
28 All this time and money wasted on fashion - do you think it makes that much difference? Instead of looking at the fashions, walk out into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They never primp or shop,
29 but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them.
30 "If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers - most of which are never even seen - don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you?
31 What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving.
32 People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works.
33 Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
34 "Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.
Below I put a message from Bishop T.D Jakes called Be Seated. I put this message because that is what we need to do just sit down and let God take care of it.
Here is the song surrounded by Upperroom:
