Sometimes; in my experience I don't know which is worse; the inevitable struggle with difficulties daily; or the annoying knowledge that the enemy is using the same old tactic over and over and over again and how predictable it tends to be.
That may be reflecting badly on my own weaknesses that are causing me to struggle more than I should; so I can't speak
for everyone else here; nonetheless I have a strong suspicion that someone here can relate to that observation.
People wildly shouting or shooting off fireworks when we are trying to sleep; neighbors having conflicts; problems with relatives; and other chaos in our lives may not appear to be persecution in one sense but the enemy as I like to call him is an "equal opportunity destroyer". Having any confidence at all in today's society especially that there can be some solace in anything going on in this life tends to be fruitless. Again; I may be biased having to live alone for years after my spouse had an affair and I had to divorce; feeling that I was missing out on what normal families experience. It is easy to harbor bitterness; but I can say that first the Lord has His reasoning and certainly has matured me in the last 10 years; and also that my ex wife has lost out on what the Lord had purposed for our marriage in the first place; as well as opportunities for us to grow and have an influence on others in witnessing to others. I thought I would mention this once again; briefly since many have their biggest struggles at home. Probably would be better to address seperately as to verses to maintain a strong marriage although I feel I am not the best person to discuss it with my own failures. Nonetheless; Satan's attempt to affect me with uncontrollable anger has been dealt with through Biblical counselling in the book of James and much prayer about 5 or 6 years ago and I would recommend that others would avail sound counselling in the church.
