In the night, when you're alone, Satan does his best work. He plants despair, hurt, and regret in your mind. He corners you with self-pity thoughts when there's no one around. He bully's you into doing what you wouldn't normally do. All his deceptive thoughts cause you to make bad choices. Reflect right now over your life. Are there times in your life you wish you could erase from time and do over? Sure! I wish I could go back. But we have to keep moving forward according to Philippians 3:13 "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before." You can't do over what's done but you can learn the lessons and resist the urge to create new regrets. Three things you can do when troubles come on you:
1. Call a friend. Sometimes talking out your troubles gives you a better perspective.
2. Look at uplifting
movies/shows or read a good book. These are great distractions for a mind
of woes.
3. Pray and believe your
prayers are heard. Draw comfort in knowing God has your back.
Use your time on
earth enjoying life and taking time to smell the roses. Ignore thoughts
that keep you depressed and sad. Have happy thoughts. This way,
in the night, you can rest easy without tossing and turning.
Remember, peace comes from God not Satan.
