I am sure that each one of you can say that 2016 was a year filled with unexpected blessings coupled with untold sorrows. But isn’t that what life on this earth is all about. Beautiful sweetness mingled with grief-stricken bitterness.
But even so, there is always hope and there is always joy when our confidence is in the Lord.
The enemy knows our brokenness. He understands our areas of great weakness and when given half the chance, he overwhelmes us with thoughts of inadequacy and great neediness. And these triggers sent us on a downward spiral into a place of darkness and depression. A place we don’t want to even leave because its too tiring to think about leaving. This is oppression rather then depression.
The onslaught is from the outside, but it messes up the inside.
But there is power in prayer and the prayers brought the darkness into the light.
