We all go through stuff.
We all have to deal with stuff we don’t like.
Everyone has their battles.

The devil likes to tell us that we are the only one going through anything and makes us feel like a failure. He likes us to think that God is against us not for us. These are lies. Like David, we have to preach to our souls and command them to praise God no matter what we are going through.

This is part of taking captive every thought and emotion. We must exercise self-control to choose the truth over the lies and praise God for who He is. Praise and thanksgiving are the languages of faith that lead us out of where we are and into what God has for us.

God hasn’t forgotten you. He is just waiting for you to get on the right path where He can lead you into victory.
