Tough Times

I cannot go into the entire thing, but I just had to share. I am going through a tough time right now. The enemy is attacking left and right, and he is actually starting to get to me. :(

Someone very close to me had her husband of 21 years leave. This person needs lots of prayer and support. Even worse. They have a 14 year old daughter. She is so angry and hurt. It was pretty much just out of the blue. No one was expecting it. If you would please keep “V” and “K” in your prayers, I would greatly appreciate it. Actually, I also believe that her husband needs prayers. I am not sure what happened, but I do know that this once strong Christian man is not walking with God right now.

Also, on the personal front. I am tired. I feel the enemy attacking and trying to bring on depression. I refuse to allow him to get that stronghold back in my life. I know it will be an on-going battle.

You know you are doing great work for the Lord, when the enemy will not let you alone, right? :) He is also attacking my marriage. I know it is because of something that a group of my friends and myself are doing to show our husbands how much we love them. I know I am ministering to my beloved and he is coming around to the Lord, slowly but surely. It may take years yet, but I know God is moving in his life. How do I know this? Because satan is right there, making me second guess everything I say and do. :) But my God is more powerful and I know He will triumph!

This is just the latest leg in my journey. Yes, a year ago, this would have caused me to give up. With what my friend is going through, it makes it very hard to keep working on Faith Filled Wives, as it makes me feel like I am reminding her of what is happening. I keep on though.

    Oh MJ. I’m so sorry. I suffer with depression. The fact that I’m still hurting physically is beginning to affect me emotionally and it really scares me. The only hope I have is that we KNOW how it all ends. satan can toy with us now, but he will get his one day. Don’t let him defeat you. he is weak. Our Lord’s Spirit in you is stronger than that. Hang in there.

    And I’m so sorry about your friend’s situation. We can never understand why these things happen - well because as humans we are selfish. Somehow, God uses our biggest screw-ups to make Himself known. I pray that this will be the case here too.

    Praying for your emotional protection.
