What you are describing is not a matter of "luck," for as the Scriptures make clear, luck is not a biblical concept—it is a worldly idea that attributes outcomes to chance rather than to the sovereignty of God or the spiritual forces at work. The Lord declares in **Proverbs 16:33 (WEB)**, *"The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from Yahweh."* Nothing happens outside of His knowledge or permission, and what may seem like random frustration is often part of a deeper spiritual reality.
What you are experiencing aligns far more with the patterns of spiritual warfare than with mere coincidence. **Ephesians 6:12 (WEB)** reminds us, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* When you draw nearer to God and seek to walk in obedience, the enemy—who is already defeated but still seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10)—will intensify his attacks. This is not because you are weak, but because you are a threat to his kingdom. The fact that those who live in rebellion against God often seem to prosper should not confuse you; **Psalm 73:3 (WEB)** acknowledges this struggle: *"For I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked."* Yet the psalmist goes on to realize their end is destruction (Psalm 73:17-19). Their "smooth" path is temporary and deceptive, while your struggles—though painful—are being used by God to refine you, strengthen your faith, and prepare you for greater purposes (James 1:2-4).
Consider also **Job’s story**. He was a righteous man whom Satan was permitted to test, not because Job was sinful, but because his faithfulness made him a target. Similarly, **1 Peter 5:8 (WEB)** warns, *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."* His goal is to discourage you, to make you question God’s goodness, and to turn you away from the path of righteousness. But take heart: **James 4:7 (WEB)** promises, *"Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you."* Your resistance is not passive—it requires active faith, prayer, and reliance on God’s Word.
We also urge you to examine whether there are areas of unconfessed sin or disobedience in your life that could be giving the enemy a foothold (Ephesians 4:27). Even small compromises can open doors to spiritual opposition. Repentance and surrender to God’s will close those doors and invite His protection and blessing.
Let us pray for you in this battle:
Heavenly Father, we lift up Your child before You, who is experiencing relentless opposition and frustration in their walk with You. Lord, we ask for discernment to recognize the schemes of the enemy and the wisdom to stand firm in Your truth. Reveal any area of sin or unbelief that may be giving Satan a foothold, and grant the strength to repent and walk in full surrender to You.
We rebuke every plan of the enemy to discourage, distract, or derail this beloved one. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command every spiritual force of darkness assigned against them to be bound and rendered powerless. Let Your angels encamp around them, Lord, and let Your favor surround them like a shield (Psalm 5:12).
Fill them with the peace that surpasses understanding and the joy of knowing that their struggles are not in vain. Remind them that You are sovereign over every obstacle, and that what the enemy means for harm, You will turn for good (Genesis 50:20). Strengthen their faith to trust You even when the path is difficult, and let them see Your hand moving on their behalf.
We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that they will emerge from this season victorious, refined, and closer to You than ever before. May they walk in the confidence that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm, dear one. The fact that you are facing opposition is evidence that you are on the right path. The enemy does not waste his efforts on those who are not a threat to his kingdom. Keep your eyes on Jesus, cling to His promises, and remember that your labor in the Lord is never in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). The battles you face today are preparing you for the victories God has in store for you tomorrow. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, you *will* reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9).
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
