I am feeling picked on by satan. Does this ever happen to you? I know in my head it means I am doing something he doesn't like which means I am hopefully doing something right with God but in my heart it is just hard.
And each time you try to pick yourself up from being pushed down, you get knocked over again by something new.
It's not as bad as it sounds. I am just stressing about finances (aren't we all) and then as I start thinking about how I can cut back, where I can tighten the belt, we get hit with things like car repairs, new tires and homeowners dues.
So I guess that new bra I was going to get b/c the underwire broke in my old one will have to go to the bottom of the priority list.

Yes! I think we all do feel that way from time to time. I find that many times when I am doing things "right", having my devotions, spending time in prayer, tithing, experiencing some growth, than wham out of nowhere there it comes. I'm stressed out over something or I lay awake worried or I obsess over whatever it is.
Over the last few months I have been making a list of verses or passages that I can quote at times like these. The one I keep going back to is Psalm 139, claiming the promises there and eventually my mind will start to quiet, the indigestion will start to subside and I feel calmer. It doesn't always help right away but just knowing it will and changing the direction of my focus is huge.
Plus it is always a good thing to see what areas we are being attacked take a close look and see where we might need prayer or an area that needs work. It is an attack but it can also be an opportunity, some days I just wish there weren't so many opportunities at once :)
So how is that for a super long comment !!
Yep.
