“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgement you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord.
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper” is a pretty bold statement here in this verse above. When I look at this, it challenges my views on the world and the spiritual warfare we, as believers, come across daily. Warfare that we may not even understand is happening because it doesn’t disconnect us from the physical world around us, usually. But my fight isn’t with the flesh and blood realm, it’s mental. And it takes every ounce of strength to muster up the courage to face it.
So what happens when mental health is the weapon the enemy uses? When we can’t see it or feel it how do we combat it? Piggybacking off of last week, I am unsure, yet I have taken steps recently to combat it in the physical that I can’t fight on my own in the mental. And as a Christian it’s a hard pill to swallow (pun intended). I have taken a leap of faith and trusted the doctors God has given us, trusting them to be a part of my tribe, in this battle. When prayer and worship aren’t working and the question of “why” isn’t answered it’s my duty to trust God in the process and the steps those take around me.
But why does God leave us “high and dry” sometimes to what seems, fight the battle on our own? Again, I can’t answer that question right now. I can’t figure out why He would heal me for years only to allow this struggle back into my life. But what I can do is understand the enemy doesn’t have my best interest in mind and trust that God does and I have to be willing to fight the good fight and continue forward, as God has instructed me to, no matter what.
