And So It Begins

While I have been and will be continuing my prayers to God for the restoration of our family and that His Will be done (this does not go against my promise or actions yesterday), the real battle appears to have begun today. I am assaulted when I am humanly defenseless. The enemy knows my weaknesses well, he’s had a great deal of practice and success. The one area God spared me from assault for over a week is now fair game. Sleep is now a battleground.

Psalm 25 continues to be my refuge. Verses 15-21 helped me greatly today:

My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only He will release my feet from the snare. Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. The troubles of my heart have multiplied; free me from my anguish. Look upon my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins. See how my enemies have increased and how fiercely they hate me! Guard my life and rescue me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You. May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope is in You.

I have been waiting for this particular attack. Recently, it was an especially active and wonderful area of our relationship. Now it is a battleground. I did not expect the first salvo to come as I tried to rest. The enemy lost. God is good. Lord, keep me strong in You. I like the NASB translation of “my hope is in You” - “for I wait for You”. I am waiting on the Lord to do great things with this mess I’ve made.

Please pray for the safety & protection of our children, for Mary and for myself.

May God’s Will be done in each of our lives. He has a plan. He will make a way.
