Day 285 Stay on Guard | 1 Peter 5:8
Send us a text A single verse can reset your whole day. We open 1 Peter 5:8 and sit with its blunt wisdom: stay alert, watch for the enemy, and don’t confuse his roar with real power. I share how vigilance isn’t a paranoid posture but a peaceful, awake way of living—eyes open, heart guarded, and hope anchored in Christ.

A single verse can reset your whole day. We open 1 Peter 5:8 and sit with its blunt wisdom: stay alert, watch for the enemy, and don’t confuse his roar with real power. I share how vigilance isn’t a paranoid posture but a peaceful, awake way of living—eyes open, heart guarded, and hope anchored in Christ.
We talk about what prowling looks like in real life: subtle distractions, slow drift, frayed attention, and the moments we’re most vulnerable—when we’re tired, isolated, or spiritually dry. Instead of doom and fear, we reach for simple, steady practices: a short daily prayer to sharpen awareness, a few minutes in Scripture to reset our inner dialogue, and small guardrails that protect our focus. You’ll hear a concise prayer you can reuse this week, plus a reminder that relentless opposition does not mean inevitable defeat. Victory has already been decided at the cross, and that truth changes how we fight our quiet battles.
If you’ve felt scattered or spiritually numb, this reflection offers practical encouragement to stand firm without living tense. Take a breath, bring your distractions into the light, and ask God to make you alert and steady. If this helps you refocus today, share it with a friend, subscribe for more daily wisdom, and leave a quick review so others can find the show.
Still Standing: Living After the Silence, the Storm, and the Shattered Heart is the powerful second book in the Standing Series. Building on the best-selling Struggle to Standing, this new release guides you through life after heartbreak with hope, healing, and faith. Now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover.
