I can tell I am in a spiritual battle. I have been feeling very overwhelmed with feelings of sadness, depression, and anxiety lately. I have a personal matter that seems to be seeping into all areas of my life.
I've been reading alot about spiritual exhaustion, cause I am getting enough sleep, I just feel so tired... can barely function at times. I have been feeling STUCK and HOPELESS with regard to a specific area of my life. Part of it is because it involves someone else. Someone elses issues and because I'm close to them -it is directly affecting me.
Here are some of the feelings I have been facing and scriptures of truth I'm trying to stand on.
FATIGUE "He gives power to the week, and to those who have no might He increases strength" (Isaiah 40:27-29)
ANXIETY "Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad"
STRESS " Cast your burden on the Lord and He shall sustain you, He shall never permit the righteous to be moved" (Psalms 55:22)
The Lord is my Strength and My shield, my heart trusted in him and I am helped, (Psalms 28:7)
FEAR "The only thing we have to fear is fear it's self." "I will never leave you or forseake you." (Hebrews 13:5)
DESPAIR "strength is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9)
I have to remind myself the battle is not mine alone. The battle belongs to HIM.
Phil Wickhams song Battle Belongs gets me through... thank you
You see my victory!
You see a mountain moved!
Your love surrounds me.
Nothing to fear for I am safe with you
When I fight I fight on my knees with my hands lifted high.
Nothing is impossible for JESUS
You GO BEFORE US
YOU WIN EVERY BATTLE
