Let me know if you ever need to talk or have temptations. I understand and am here for you if you need to.

And while we’re sharing the past–It was just slightly over a year ago that I had one of the worst spiritual attacks of my life. I’d just gotten home from a movie with some friends and I suddenly found myself under attack. I was discontent. I felt hopeless. I felt that I didn’t belong. I was angry and confused. A pit of despair was open before me, a thousand emotions were overcoming me. I tried to tell myself truth, but I couldn’t see in the midst of the lies.

Then I cried out to God, “Help me.”

And He did. I wrote in my journal: “Last night was easily one of the most exhausting battles I have ever encountered. Despair would have left me for dead, fear would have overcome me–except that the Lord is my help. When I called to Him, He answered, battling on my behalf. And the enemy was defeated. When my strength was not enough to resist the enemy, the Lord fought on my behalf. He gave me strength to fight, to battle, to believe the truth, and to deny the evil one any place in my soul.”

Whether you’re battling an eating disorder or depression, you can’t fight the battle yourself. Only God can conquer it. But He is more than willing to answer when you call.

Thanks again for sharing, doll.
