Hello, all.
Came to Christ about 3 years ago. Since then I have been under attack. I know God is strengthening my faith but it's hard to relate to people what is happening. I was told by some people at my church that I must be doing something wrong to deserve all the stuff happening.
Just this pass month I lost my job with no possibility to get unemployment. Sudden shootings in my neighborhood leading to the death of 3 young men and watching them take the dead body of a 19 year old kid was hard to take in. Not to mention I have to walk pass these crime scenes just to leave my house. I started to pray for this nieghborhood and all hell broke loose in my life. I haven't stopped praying and I won't!
I have had days were I am lifting my hands and worshipping Christ for the peace He has given me, a peace I have never had before. But then there are some days when I feel like my mind is playing tricks on me. I know it's the enemy telling me I won't have any way to pay my rent or your doing something wrong. Not living in sin, so Satan doesn't have a case against me. Every other day is a battle but I haven't stopped getting on my knees and seeking Him with my whole heart. I guess the enemy thinks he could just scare me away from my prayer life.
It hurts and I know it's ok to be vulnerable. Looking for any brothers or sisters that may understand and stand in agreement in prayer with me. I believe that I need some powerful prayer warriors. Don't pray God remove me from the situation unless that's His will, but pray that God give me peace and strength to endure. Thank you!
