Sometimes we feel overwhelmed in life, and the frustration just has to come out. You are human, you know. Don't be so hard on yourself. You are a "work in progress!" We all are. God still works on me!!!!
Put on your FULL ARMOR every day. Remember, you are a seeking child of God, a light shining in a fallen world. Satan will do all he can to trip you up and make you feel unworthy and a failure. REMEMBER: YOU ARE NEVER SEEN AS A FAILURE TO GOD, NOR WILL HE MAKE YOU STUMBLE, DOUBT, REGRET. With God, each day is new, fresh, and emboldened for your life in His presence and service. Satan will use those around you to destroy your spirit and faith when you try to live as a child of God. You MUST remember who you are as a child of God and WHO GOD IS.
Stay in His Word to learn how to defeat the lies of your enemy. Knowledge is one thing. Wisdom is using knowledge when needed and growing strong "in the help of the Lord." What good is "training" if you never use it when the battle comes and feel defeated? You have the full authority and power of Christ at your fingertips every moment. Satan wants you think you are helpless, God doesn't care, and that you are unable to rise with Christ. CHRIST SAYS THE SAME POWER OF THE RESURRECTION IS AVAILABLE TO YOU NOW AND ALWAYS. Exhaustion comes from unproductive worry and all other "good" things suffer when Satan distracts you to the manufactured mountain of distress. He'll convince you that you are defeated, a failure, incapable of success. HE'S A LIAR. A DOWN AND DIRTY LIAR. HERE'S THE TRUTH: YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST. ALL THINGS. One day at a time, be filled with your "daily bread."
Each of us has struggles. I have had them in my growth. I am still attacked and still growing, for Satan never stops his attacks no matter how old you are if you continue to walk in the Lord. I expect them now, and when they come, I remember how God told me to wear these attacks as a badge of honor. And say, Ok, Lord, lets get through another roadblock together. AND WE DO. I may stumble at times, I may be distressed, but I KEEP in the Lord for strength and remember HE IS ALWAYS WITH ME.... I JUST HAVE TO CLING TO HIM TO GET THROUGH EACH STORM. Jesus said not to be surprised by the attacks.... expect them and be prepared for them......we have to rebuke Satan's lies and not let them simmer and catch fire and cause destruction of spirit. TRY. FIGHT. PERSEVERE.
We are in a fallen earth, not our real home. We can have JOY IN THE LORD or let the world toss us all around at every turn. This is God's peace, God's gift to you as you travel here now.... the peace that the world can not give you, humans can't give you. I can't give you.....you have to seek it yourself, use it yourself, and walk with Jesus yourself. ..... AND THEN YOU ARE NEVER ALONE.
