God, Fight My Battles
Day 1 – Sunday, July 13, 2025
 
 “God, Fight My Battles”

Scripture Focus:

“O Lord, oppose those who oppose me. Fight those who fight against me.”
— Psalm 35:1 (NLT)
Devotional :
 
Sis, you’ve been swinging in every direction—emotionally, mentally, spiritually—trying to protect your peace, prove your worth, and silence every voice rising up against you. But today, God is calling you to drop the gloves.
Not because you’re weak—but because you’ve finally realized you don’t have to fight anymore.
 
The moment you let go of the fight is the moment you invite God to step in.
And let me tell you—He doesn’t lose.
 
We live in a world that teaches us to clap back, protect our name, and take matters into our own hands. But the Word of God says, “The Lord will fight for you.” (Exodus 14:14)
 
You don’t have to keep explaining yourself.
You don’t have to keep defending your past.
You don’t have to keep retaliating to prove you’re healed.
 
Sometimes the most powerful move you can make… is to stand still and let God handle it.
 
Whether you’re fighting for peace in your home, battling for your children, trying to recover from abuse, addiction, betrayal, or rejection—God sees it. And today, He’s saying:
 
“Let Me handle the ones who’ve been trying to break you.”
 
He knows every lie that’s been told.
Every plot formed against you.
Every door closed to block your purpose.
And He’s getting ready to fight on your behalf.
 
But first—you must surrender the battlefield.

Challenge of the Day:
 
 Grab your journal. Write down every battle you’ve been fighting in your own strength—people, pain, habits, memories, trauma, shame, or fear. Write down names if you need to. Be honest.
Then pray over it and say out loud:
“This is no longer mine to carry. I surrender this to God.”
 
 Burn it. Rip it. Tear it.
Do whatever you need to symbolize releasing it. Let today be the day you stop carrying what you were never meant to fight.

Prayer of Surrender:
 
Father, I’ve been fighting battles that You never told me to fight.
I’ve been carrying the weight of wounds, words, and warfare that were never mine to carry.
But today, I surrender. I step back so You can step in.
Fight for me, Lord. Speak for me. Protect me. Defend me.
You are my Advocate. My Defender. My Deliverer.
I give You the people who tried to break me, the past that tried to define me, and the pain that tried to paralyze me.
This battle is not mine—it is Yours.
And I trust You to bring victory out of every wound.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

Sister, Here’s Your Word Today:
 
You don’t have to fight to be seen.
You don’t have to fight to be understood.
You don’t have to fight to survive.
 
Your God is a Warrior. And He’s never lost a battle.
 
Today, step into the peace that comes from letting go.
You’ve done all you can—now it’s God’s turn.

My Journey To Resilience And Redemption

Hey Resilient Woman, 

My name is Dashonia Marie, and I am a woman who has experienced the depths of pain, addiction, and trauma—but also the transformative power of God’s grace and healing. My life is a testimony of how surrendering to God can bring renewal and restoration, no matter how broken the pieces may seem.
 
For years, I struggled with addiction, loss, and the scars of past trauma, but through faith and determination, I found freedom and purpose. Today, I dedicate my life to helping other women discover that same freedom. Through Encouraging Her Resilience, I strive to create resources that inspire hope, build resilience, and guide women on their journey to recovery—just as I’ve been guided on mine.
 
I believe healing is possible for every woman, no matter her story. My mission is to provide faith-based tools and encouragement to help women see their worth, embrace God’s promises, and walk boldly into the life He has planned for them. I am living proof that God can take our brokenness and turn it into something beautiful, and it is my heart’s calling to walk alongside others as they step into their own transformation.
