Father, I place my trust in you. You are victorious. You have defeated Satan. My victory is assured. The battle belongs to you. I do not fight in my own strength or ability. I trust in you. I place my faith in you. I will be victorious today. God is on my side. Hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus. I will be fully alive today.
