Fear, Failure, and Hope

Guys, I'm serious about this! And I'm scared.
It started at winter fest this year, just after Alyson fell of of her horse, and it was bad and all. I started thinking of why all of this would happen to one person. The only thing I could think of was that it was a spiritual attack. Now I don't now for sure or anything because I'm human and all, but I've talked to people, and prayed about this and it seems to me that this is what it is.

Also at winter fest, I started to feel that 2009 was going to be big/hard some how. I may sound crazy, and in all reality, maybe it is. but it's how I feel, and things that have happened in the world have started to prove me right. Now I know that our world (obviously,) is far from perfect, and is kind of screwed up often, but as of late it seems that bad things have been happening more frequently. (it could also be that I'm just paying closer attention that I use to, but I don't know.)
I have felt pretty under attack too, lately. I have been feeling really inadequate. pretty much like a failure at life. know I'm not and that god sees me as his perfect child, but little thing like failing the drivers test twice, and not doing so great in school, and having absolutely no idea what my life is going to look like after this school year. Things I usually don't worry about more than I need to; these thing are all I have been able to focus on recently, and that is not normal for me at all.

Anyhow, as I started seeing and feeling these thing happen, I also started hearing things about how we can fight the devil. So I made a list in one of my journals of these ways.(but I only have two as of yet...) I think that pastor Dave may have said both of them but I can't remember. But I know that the source of these things are trustworthy, because wouldn't have gotten as exited as I did, if I heard it from someone I didn't trust completely, or if I had not found them to have worked for me in the past. (Which at least one of them has.)
So hear they are. I call them my spiritual arsenal.

1. Focus on what Christ did on the cross. Satan truly thought he had won by killing Jesus, and was happy...till he found out just how wrong he had been. When we think about/ pairs God for what he did, It's sort of like rubbing it in the devils face.

2. Sing. This one is so simple, but really powerful. when we sing praises to God, the devil hates it; plain and simple. I am absolutely positive that this one work because I've used it before.

So that's all. I know that it's a short list right now but hopefully it will grow. If anybody has anything that they could add to this list, I would love to talk to you about it.
...The End
