The more I grow in my faith walk and serve God, the more I become aware of how much sin is in my own life and how I can't go through this battle fighting by myself. Spiritual warfare is no joke - the enemy tries to attack me every day through temptations, whispers of not being good enough, and anxiety about the future.
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.
Ephesians 6:13
I am continually reminded daily that I need Jesus. I am so thankful that God has provided us with his son to atone for our sins and our shortcomings and that even when we fall, we can pick ourselves up knowing that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). What encouraged me while reading Ephesians 6:13 was that even after I have done everything in MY power to stand, I will still be able to stand. This will not be from my own will or what I have done, but because I have the armor of God. I am victorious because God is victorious. I want to remind myself of this every time I am faced with sin or discouragement.
