God, You will save me. You are faithful even when the enemy has set out traps in secret to snare me and pull me off of Your best path. Satan will often take what is good and twist it into a hidden snare. Help me see these kinds of traps, recognizing what seem like good things that actually have the enemy’s plans behind them. If I pursue good desires in the wrong way or in the wrong timing, without staying in step with You, the enemy will trap me. Forgive me for the times I’ve allowed this to happen. The enemy’s plans are to steal, kill, and destroy, but Lord, give me a keen awareness of the enemy’s schemes and the strength to resist his traps (John 10:10). Give me a pure desire for only Your best. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
