Chapter 5 : Lord, Strengthen me to stand against the enemy.





An enemy in my own word is something that stands in you way of progress or always want to see your downfall. Just like the author stated most often we turn to think other people are our enemies but we really do not look deep into it and realize is the devils way of bringing us down. There have been so many situations in my life where I just taught people wanted to bring me down, I was stressed and everyone that knows me know I am quick to cry if something is bothering me or I can get something done. Sometimes I felt empty, down and taught I couldn’t pull my way up. A typical example was my sophomore year of college when I was struggling with school. I went to my advisor to seek options and she told me “your people tend not to succeed in the college of science so I think you should find a back plan like changing your major” I went back to my dorm that day very frustrated and actually taught about what the lady told me, I took moment of silence to reflect my decision and I realized I can do anything through lord my God that strengths me and I should let anything pull me down. Reading this chapter made me realize that was the work of the devil. He comes in all forms and in anyway possible to bring Gods children down.

I will also like to talk about the section where it goes “why me I am a good person” God is  not just sitting there to watch the devil bring you down  in my opinion I sometimes think when we are going through phases in our life which makes us backslide from our Christian ways  or relationship with God  , it is just a way of him allowing us to go astray and learning from our experience, also sometimes when we  go through trials and temptations its also a test from the most high to make us firm  and strong  in worshiping him. He will never let us down or let the devil bring us down we just have to have faith in God whiles utilizing patience at the same time.

Last but not the least, in addition to the five weapons against mass destruction you can always use your kindness and perseverance to kill the enemy a.k.a the devil. Do not let anything bring you down for you are strong and can achieve anything in life with the help of God. One important phrase I always go by is that “if at first you do not succeed try again for you shall conquer and never fear".  

Hope you goddesses have a blessed and productive week. God bless and love you all.
