#trusting god

Proverbs 3:5 “It's a powerful reminder to surrender our doubts and trust in God's infinite wisdom.

When we acknowledge His sovereignty and guidance, He illuminates our journey, leading us towards purpose and peace.

May we continually seek to trust and submit to His will, embracing the clarity and direction He provides.”

• Spiritual warfare is the idea that there's a battle going on between good and evil forces. In Christianity, this means a fight between God and His angels against the devil and his demons. It mainly happens in our minds, hearts, and spirits. It’s about resisting bad thoughts, temptations, and influences that go against what God wants for us. Though we believe that Jesus has indeed already defeated Satan by dying on the cross and coming back to life, the enemy still tries to lead us to sin in order to push us away from God, thus spiritual warfare.

• “Symptoms” vary since the devil attacks you where it hurts the most, to make you as vulnerable as possible; but here are some of the most common ones:

- believing that your not worthy of having a relationship with God or talking to God therefore feeling the need to distance yourself from him

-self destructive / sabotage / harm temptations

-paranoia / overthinking

-strong headaches / body aches

-temptations towards sin such as lust, gluttony, laziness, anger.. etc, depends on your weaknesses

-self hatred & self doubt / doubt in faithfulness

-hopelessness, fear, anxiety

-random depressive moods & replaying bad memories … the list goes on!

• Living a life more aligned with God’s will is seen as a threat to Satan and his purposes, leading to increased attempts to discourage or derail one’s faith journey. With a deeper relationship with God often comes a greater sense of purpose and mission, attracting more challenges and obstacles from evil forces trying to prevent one from fulfilling God’s plans. Our Father allows these intensified battles to refine and strengthen our faith, helping us rely more on Him and grow spiritually.

Real footage of me getting through this past week……

😓❤️🤤

I’m sadly feeling the lack of a daily med that helps with my menopause symptoms. 😢 It’s so far one of the few downfalls living in a rural town that no longer has a local pharmacy. *sigh* Plus the closest one to me is usually out-of-stock of that medication too. 😣 I just get peeved with myself that I lose so much energy and focus to get things done. Even with things I enjoy doing. It reminds me of my past years battling with chronic depression, and I straight-up refuse to go back there!
