Struck Down but NOT Destroyed

I've recently purchased one of Joyce Meyer's popular books "Battlefield of the Mind."
I've only started beginning reading the first chapter, but even in those few pages a lot has been revealed. She talks about how satan is the greatest deceiver and that he is good at what he does. She talks about how he is patient and that he is good at pinpointing people's weakness and will jump at any opportunity he can, basically.


This week has had some trials not only for me but to my family. I could cry (and believe me I have) and feel sorry for myself or I could look to My Creator. The One who knows everything about me and knows everything in my life that has and will happen..even before I was born.

Why, I'm asking myself, would I not choose to turn to Him? Why do I sometimes allow myself to take things over and think that I can find the comfort and answer I need without Him?

Jesus says to cast our cares and burdens upon Him...and for that I am thankful. I'm thankful that I don't have to carry this heavy load alone.

The devil can try all he wants to this family. But I will make sure to remind that

Greater is He who is within me than he who is in the world!

He came that we may have life and life to the fullest...

Jesus, I need YOU!!!!!
