Attack the attacker!

         Lately, the enemy has been attacking me viciously. I feel like he hasn't let up once since this year has started, and recently I have found myself finding it harder to grateful for the works God has done in my life. However, yesterday, in the middle of what seemed like a possible nervous breakdown, I put my head in my arms and began to cry. My sweet little Peanut came out of nowhere, and put her little hands on my back, and said, "Everything is going to be ok, you know that?" Thank You Lord for the Holy Spirit... I did know that.I have always known that. I dried my eyes, and repented for my worry. I once again found myself giving my troubles to the Lord, and vowed that I would not take them back this time. Why fight a battle that has been already won? (Thanks Big Daddy Weave for writing such true lyrics in your song Redeemed!) 
          Everything will be ok, because I don't have to figure it out. If satan thinks he is going to keep me from getting closer to God he is sorely mistaking. He might have derailed me momentarily, but every time he lays something on me, I find strength in Jesus Christ. I lean more into Him. I learn more about myself, and I rededicate my life to becoming more Christ like, and to do His work according to His word. There is power in the name of Jesus, to break EVERY chain, and the enemy will never hold me down, he's just pushing me closer to God's bosom, further into His arms. Oh Satan you are so stupid!
