“Although we may be challenged by a defeated foe that still happens to be a worthy adversary, I AM thankful that no weapon formed against us can prosper! It is my prayer that no one can usurp our Divine Authority, bastardize our Divine Assignment, nor prostitute our Divine Assets!” +Myles
In life, we often find ourselves in a peculiar, challenging space. We stand triumphant over a battle. We’ve faced the difficulty, learned the lesson, and emerged victorious. Yet, the defeated foe doesn’t always vanish. It lingers, sometimes surprisingly, still acting as a worthy adversary.
This lingering shadow could be a past mistake that keeps trying to define us, an old habit that claws for a foothold, or an external force determined to test our resolve. This is the challenge. This is the crucible.
But this is also where your unbreakable resolve and the power of the my prayer for us shining through.
The Power of Divine Assurance
Our leading quote is a magnificent declaration of faith and self-assurance: “Although we may be challenged by a defeated foe that still happens to be a worthy adversary, I AM thankful that no weapon formed against us can prosper!”
This is not a statement of blind optimism; it’s a testament to belief in God, a higher, guiding force. It’s the core assurance that even when the opponent is strong, tenacious, and seems to constantly reappear, the ultimate outcome is secured. The challenge may be real, but the victory is guaranteed because no strategy or tool designed to cause failure can ultimately succeed against a foundation rooted in Divine Authority.
Guarding the Sacred Trust
The second part of your quote moves from general assurance to specific, fervent prayers for protection over what is most sacred: our purpose and our gifts.
1. Guarding Your Divine Authority
Your Authority is your unique identity, the rightful place you hold in the world, and the power you have been given to execute your purpose.
“It is my prayer that no one can usurp our Divine Authority…”
To usurp means to wrongfully take control. We pray that no one, no person, no fear, no self-doubt, and no outside influence can steal the confidence and power of who we are meant to be and what we are meant to do. This is a prayer for sovereignty over your own life and destiny.
2. Protecting Your Divine Assignment
Your Assignment is your mission, your calling, the unique work that only you can do.
“…bastardize our Divine Assignment…”
To bastardize means to corrupt, diminish, or render illegitimate. We must guard our mission fiercely so that it is not diluted, polluted, or twisted into something it was never meant to be. Our Assignment is meant to be pure, impactful, and authentic and we pray to keep it that way, resisting the pressure to compromise its core truth for temporary gain or acceptance.
3. Preserving Your Divine Assets
Your Assets are your gifts, talents, resources, and everything you have been blessed with to fulfill your Assignment.
“…nor prostitute our Divine Assets!”
To prostitute means to misuse or exploit a valuable thing for a trivial or unworthy purpose. We pray for the integrity to use our gifts (our intelligence, empathy, financial resources, network, time) only in alignment with our highest calling, refusing the temptation to waste them on pursuits that ultimately detract from our true purpose.
🙏 Your Call to Steadfastness
Embrace this powerful declaration today. Be thankful for the protection that surrounds you. Know that the fight is real, and the adversary is worthy, but your Authority is stronger.
Let this prayer be a constant reminder to stay focused, pure, and intentional. When you protect your Authority, Assignment, and Assets, you make a daily commitment to your truest self. And in that commitment, you solidify the truth: No weapon formed against you can prosper.
What part of your “Divine Authority, Assignment, or Assets” feels most challenged in your life right now?
