"I tend to try to figure things out in the natural world. But I went through a season where it seemed like I was facing spiritual attack after spiritual attack. Through the process of writing "You Fight My Battles", God reminded me of three key scriptures: Exodus 14:13, when Moses told the Israelites that God would fight for them; all they needed to do was remain calm, 2 Chronicles 20:21, when King Jehoshaphat sent the worshipers ahead of the Israelite army and God fought for them, and finally, Acts 16 when Paul and Silas sang to God in the prison and God shook the prison cell in the midnight hour. This song came from the inspiration that if I just focus on praising God, he can and will fight the spiritual battles for me."
