A Scheme of the Enemy

Lately I have been in earnest prayer about a few issues in my life. In fact, I have never prayed so hard in all my life. Just today Satan pops in with doubt by asking, "Do you really think your prayers are going to have any effect? You are wasting your time. All this time in prayer and think of all of the ways you are neglecting your family. Do you really think this is healthy?" So tonight I bit and I was believing him. This past few weeks I have become really good at journalling, so I journaled my doubts and then asked God for HELP! I said, "Please God help me refocus, is all of this for not?" Then he said a line out of one of my favorite movies Facing the Giants, "Give God your absolute best and leave the results up to Him." Isn't it interesting that when God asks us to do something, that we are to never be mindful of the end result just the obedience. I have found in my 37 years that whenever I have been discouraged about serving God it is because I have become concerned about the end result. I think some how that I am responsible for it or I cannot see how God can pull it off.
Well now my eyes are a little wider and I give my God all of the praise for giving me this nugget of wisdom. I just had to pass it on.
I will close with this. My good friend Sylvia once said, "Be the kind of prayer warrior that when you wake up in the morning Satan says, 'Oh no, she's up' "

Here is to fighting on your knees
The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and affective.
