Maybe we are not ready to jump spiritual hurdles. Though, we might try starting where we are, watching for God.

When attacks come, it is quite helpful to remember that it is a lie. The fear element of situation will always be based upon a lie.

Immediately, begin seeking God for needed truth that will overcome this particular warfare. As truth is revealed, light replaces darkness and Satan flees. Oh, what relief!

Once we begin experiencing that relief, we will want to pick up our Bible and look further. There are promises and provisions given, all over, to let us know our rightful place with God!

What an awesome provision God has given! Truth: a battle weapon amidst spiritual warfare! It sets us free!

And, once we experience such freedom, we begin to realize and finally 'know' that all things work together for our good (to us that love God, to us who are called), according to his purpose; no exceptions.

Isn't it about time we get to 'know' God?

(For weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. II Corinthians 10:4-6

What helped me most, during those early years, was a statement I remembered from childhood, "How can you say you love your children if you don't care about their souls?"

It's a motivating factor to make sure one's children have every opportunity possible to learn about God. And though we may still occasionally dread alarm clock, in time, one's faith becomes their own. Then, there's no place we'd rather be than in God's house.
