Each of us face daily struggles. Those particular challenges that makes life difficult for you are not necessarily the same for me. I awaken each morning and enter the frey of a world at war.  All around the spiritual realm battles are being fought and won for the Kingdom of God.

The Enemy is all around me, his influences is palpable, and the enemy of Self within sows discord within my heart and mind. Those things that I ought to do that I don't. Those things that I shouldn't do, that I do. Often I am my own greatest enemy, my attitude causing little obstacles to become large mountains.  Because I insist of drawing from my own strength, which runs out rather quickly, I wade into the day already weary.

The lesson that I am being taught lately in one of complete dependence on God. I must daily humble myself to admit my limitations, my inability to do anything without being plugged into the Source of all Life. Lord, help me to gain strength from being thankful in all circumstances, by rejoicing in You always, by praying without ceasing.
