To Not Be Overcome, But To Overcome



Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

—Romans 12:21 (NKJV)


Heavenly Father,


Show me how not to be overcome by the evil that surrounds me, but to overcome that evil with good!


When the enemy assaults me on every side, remind me of the power of Christ’s love which has delivered me out of the enemy’s hand and help me to enforce his defeat in my life—by doing the next good and right thing—so that I can bring glory to Your Name.

Help me remember that good always wins over evil in the end, and help me to rest in that wonderful hope that if I remain surrendered to Your will, You will set all things right—every hurt, every offense, every injustice—according to Your perfect timing and so that You will receive the most glory.

Help me not be moved by how others act—understanding that other people are not my enemies—but be moved by the Truth I find in Your Word, as I use it for good in the natural world in which I live, and overcome evil in the spirit realm.


Show me how not to be overcome by the evil that surrounds me, but to overcome that evil with good!


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
