Giving Up

"I will confess some days I feel forgotten

Seems like You're hiding Your face from me

I will admit that I wrestle with my thoughts

Struggle with all of the sorrow deep

How long will you leave me here without answers?

Crushed by the words of my enemies"-Alisa Turner

I must admit that I have moments where it seems easier to give in than to keep on fighting. The enemy puts a thought in my mind, “No one likes you.” The thought gets pushed to the side. Another thought comes in, “You are not worthy of His love.” I come back it saying that “no one deserves His love yet He still loves.” Once I say that the thoughts become more aggressive the words more negative the anxiety more advanced. It sounds intense. It is. It sounds easier to just give in. It is. But, doesn’t the fact that the attack is intense mean , that the enemy is afraid? What war general sends an attack of great intensity, to a mere troop that could of been gone with one blow? Why waste effort and time on something not worth it? The enemy is cunning. He sends attacks little by little, attempting to weaken us. Out of frustration he sends a horrendous attack only to find it in vain. The enemy is a liar. Don’t listen to him. The enemy is a creation. Don’t hold him to the same power of the Creator. The enemy is the enemy. Don’t find comfort in his words! He will fail you and deceive you just as he did to Adam and Eve in the garden! We must stand strong, putting on the full armor of God daily , praying in every situation, running to God, and keeping our eyes above the ways.
