“Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are.” 1 Peter 5:8-9 NLT

hard to imagine that anyone is going through the same thing as we are... we can see one another's struggle and see that we really don't understand it sometimes because we are not in the same thing.. we have compassion and we pray for one another.. but we don't really think anyone else is going through the same thing...

surely the idea of our issues is to destroy us.. to get us to get up and walk away once and for all from God... to get us to doubt that He even exists.. that He loves us... that He even sees us... that we matter to Him...

stand firm against all that comes against you... keep strong in your belief that God is for you so who can be against you... believe that when the time is right.. He will rescue you and all will be good again...
