Are you a Warrior?

So another question for everyone out there in this world...Are you a warrior? Are you a prayer warrior?

The idea of this post came from my love of basketball and my love for the Golden State Warriors. I was so excited when they were close to finishing the game with a win last night. Unfortunately they lost and opened their season with loss. I was obviously dissappointed and began to wonder if this was going to be another long season of high hopes. We still have another 81 games to keep hoping and that is all we can do at this point.

That is exactly what we need to do in our everyday lives. There are times when we are expected to be "warriors" in our walk with God and more often than not we fail. Many times we have great expectations and know there is a great deal of pressure on us when the world's eyes are fixed upon us. So what happens when you slip during your walk with God? Do you try and be a warrior and get up by yourself? Do you have a band of brothers, better yet spiritual warriors to stand beside you and offer you a helping hand? This post is more of a challenge to myself and my many brothers in Christ out there. The challenge is simple...we are often quick to judge and say, "I can't believe he did this" or "why would he do that?" Let us be quick to pray and not judge. Let us be a band of spiritual prayer warriors ready and willing to help another brother when he is in need of our help.

Let us be humble warriors that are capable of asking for help when we need it!
We are here for each other and should make it clear to everyone around us!

Father,
We thank you for an amazing opporunity to become closer followers of your son, Jesus. We pray that you would be willing to bless us with spiritual armor and weapons to help each other as we battle with sin. We praise you for your son and our forgiveness.
Amen
