Conquerors! We win! When you open the last book of the Bible, Revelation, this is the message: Christians win because Jesus is the only real winner. No matter how the battle is going for you right now, remember that we will win in the end.

Prayer

God Almighty, El Shaddai, thank you for ensuring that I will win in the end by raising Jesus from the dead. I believe He will arrive in triumph on the day You have chosen, but until then, I will live victoriously for You. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

More than conquerors! What a beautiful phrase. In Christ, this is who we are: more than conquerors. No hardship, adversary, physical tragedy, nor even death can separate us from Jesus. Once our lives are connected to Jesus, our future is tied to Him (Col. 3:1-4).

Prayer

God, You are so powerful that I don't know how to thank You enough. Thank You for making me trust in Jesus. Thank You for the grace You've given me. Thank You for Your Spirit that lives in me. Thank You for letting me know about heaven. Thank You for the way Your love has saved and changed me. Thank You for telling me that no matter what I have to face, I will never be alone. Most of all, thank You, dear LORD, for knowing that nothing in this world can separate me from Jesus' love. I hope to spend the rest of my life with You. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
