How Do I Pray When I'm Facing Spiritual Warfare? (Psalm 149) | Daily Devotional & Bible Study

Today we study Psalm 149 and see a model for prayer when we are facing something bigger than ourselves. It's easy to feel overwhelmed in the middle of spiritual warfare. This psalm shows us we can praise God first, because He is the one who brings the victory.

"For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation." (Psalm 149:4)
