Different Battles = Different Approaches
This week has been a different type of week for me. I am struggling emotionally and I am not sure
why. I know that things have been
constantly changing within my personal world, but nothing to definitely put my
finger on to say, “this is why this is happening” or “this is why I feel the
way I do”. However, I have been feeling
some type of way this week. There seems
to be no comfort to the downside of emotions I have, but there is no root for
them either.
So, I have decided I am in a battle that I have not been in
before. We often fight battles on a
daily basis. We fight for our jobs by
working diligently and with a minimal amount of errors. We battle being good parents by attempting to
make the right decisions for our children, discipline them correctly, and teach
them the ways of the world, responsibility, and ownership. We battle in relationships to make them work
and to increase in our love for one another.
We battle spiritually to find balance and peace in our lives.
So, my battle is spiritual.
I get this. However, I don’t
believe I am going to be able to use my past experiences to get me through this
fight. Yes, I know to pray and read
scripture to get direction on how to fight this battle, but I will not be able
to depend on previous methods of operation in this fight. This fight feels different. I can’t put my finger on it, but there is a
distinct difference in the battle, this call to action, this warfare than I
have experienced previously.
So, for this battle that is different, my approach will be
different. I understand that
spiritually, the enemy wishes for my demise.
My weapons of warfare remain the same, but my battle strategy will be
modified. The end result remains the
same, I will emerge victorious.
Knowing how to fight is the beginning of this battle. Knowing I must fight is the reason I am
here. Knowing my Savior has already won
the victory is the reason I can go in unafraid, unworried, and undaunted.
