This world can be a crazy, lonely, overwhelming place at times. Have you ever found yourself underneath a load of burdens? I sure have. And it’s at those times that the greatest source of relief and blessings can be found on my knees, spending time with my Savior and best friend.

Satan despises an earnest prayer. He hates it when we bond with Jesus. The Devil does his very best to keep us unstable and uncertain, and as far away from the Father as possible.

Now, if you’ve come to know Jesus Christ as your best friend and Savior, there is absolutely nothing the Devil can to do change your eternity. You belong to Jesus and you are sealed with the Holy Spirit, and Lucifer has no way to interfere. But what he CAN do is try to make you miserable along the way! He can try and take away the joy that comes from serving our risen Lord. But he can only TRY. He will never succeed unless you give him the power to do so! Don’t give Satan any power over anything. He doesn’t deserve it. He isn’t responsible with it. And he’ll only use it against you.

Any time I feel sad, overcome with depression, or need inspiration to keep the Devil in his rightful place, I turn to Jesus. I trust in Him to take the bad things the evil one throws my way, and turn them into blessings that always rain down upon me. I give the situation to my Savior and lean NOT on my own understanding. And He never lets me down.

The fastest way to rise above it is to sink to your knees and give it to the Lord.

And if the Devil doesn’t like it he can sit on a tack… ouch!
