Lately I’ve been more aware of the spiritual battle happening around us. Not in a dramatic way but just noticing patterns in my own life where I feel pulled away from God. Distractions during prayer. Sudden arguments with loved ones out of nowhere. That heavy feeling some mornings that makes it hard to even open my Bible. I know scripture tells us we are in a war and that our enemy is real. But sometimes when I start really paying attention to it I feel anxious or overwhelmed like i’m just waiting for the next attack.
I know we are covered by the blood of Jesus and that He has already won. But living in the middle of it while still trying to walk in faith can feel exhausting. How do you all stay aware and alert without letting it consume your thoughts. I want to be sober minded and ready but also live in the peace that Christ gives. Would love to hear how others navigate this balance.
Also if you have any scriptures that help ground you when you feel spiritually attacked please share. I need to build up my arsenal.
2 Timothy 1:7 ==> For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind!
