Prayer and spiritual warfare
2 Corinthians 10:4-6
4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons
of the world. On the contrary, they have divine
power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish
arguments and every pretension that sets itself
up against the knowledge of God, and we take
captive every thought to make it obedient to
Christ.

A psalm. For giving thanks.
1 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him
with joyful songs.
3 Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us,
and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his

praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the LORD is good and his love endures for ever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations
