Opposition will always stand in the way of those who are trying to accomplish good; in the way of people trying to do something for God, in the way of those trying to fulfill His will.
Our prayer to His Spirit should be to give us the wisdom to recognize the true nature of opposition when we see it. In Ezra 4, the enemies of the Israelis at first came and offered help to rebuild the temple. That's when the Israeli remnant says that they will do it on their own, as per the orders of King Cyrus.
In life, too, there may be those around us who offer their help - when we're trying to follow orders from an earthly superior, to accomplish the will of the Almighty. Wisdom comes in knowing which is which, and such wisdom only comes from above. Seek such wisdom, and we should find it.
