“When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” Colossians 2:13-15

Dear Jesus, Sometimes I feel as though I don’t even have control of myself. Words come out of my mouth that I am ashamed of. Thoughts fly through my mind that I want to get rid of. Guilt and shame weigh me down. I hear voices of accusation and condemnation in my ears, in my thoughts, and weighing down my conscience. I can’t seem to escape it. Sometimes I’d rather stay in bed than to get up and face the day. But Jesus, here you remind me that there is nothing against me. All the sins that were against me are not against me anymore. All the things that condemned me in the past condemn me no longer. All the forces of evil that seek to destroy can’t destroy me anymore because they are destroyed. Jesus you have taken my sins to the cross and have put my enemies under your feet. You have made a public spectacle of all of your enemies. Help me to live this day in the confidence that comes because you have put all my enemies under your feet. There is nothing that can condemn or destroy me. You have won for me. Amen.

The powers of Satan have no power over your life. They have no power over your eternity. You are God’s and God is yours.
