Ephesians 6:10-11

"A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand film against all strategies of the devil"

Ephesians 6:10-11

///

We all fight, some more than others and some more frequently than others. Some battles are incredibly strong while others are simpler tests of willpower. Often our battles are outstretched over a course of years and sometimes they last minutes. Although often our fights are similar they are never the same. Never forget that everyone is fighting a hard battle. Luckily, we have God on our side to stand firm in our faith. The devil often shows up as the things we feel/think that we want the most. "Lying is Satan's most effective warfare strategy. Doubt sets in when he can deceive us into believing a lie, or many lies. One doubt sets in, you quit desiring to obey God. That's really all Satan is after anyway...to get each of us to disobey God's will." [///]

Doubt can cloud our minds tremendously. Doubt over relationships, jobs, money, school - there are many things to feel doubts about which means there are many things to pray about. When we pray we put on God's armor to shield us from our doubts and find clarity and peace in Him. We always have God to fight for us and with us. 

Stand firm knowing, "Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning." Psalms 30:5
