Which battles are we fighting for?
The reflections of today explain that we have several battles in life and that is true. However, I don’t want to be discouraged as I know the Good God is in my side. He can strengthen me to face whatever difficulties and come out victorious in His name. In the reflections, our sister mentions several battles and I just pick one which is “Battle for positivity” I choose this one because I know with prayer, with faith in Our Lord He will help me overcome the negativity of this life. Thanks for the good advices in these reflections that armed us for these battles.

I haven't written in a while but today's reflection got me all fired up.
When we look around us, the world is a battlefield. We cannot deny it. So today more than ever we need to refer to the verse from Ephesians 6, 10-20
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
Our sister has given us many examples of battles to choose from. Which one are you choosing? I choose to battle for hope and faith.
Whatever the choice may be, we keep praying for each other.
