Don't Let Satan Steal Your Peace!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! The Joy of the Lord is our strength! I was impressed by God this morning that we are giving our peace and joy away on the little things. Have you ever noticed one minute you feel joy and peace and everything is going smooth and then "wham" your peace is gone...the joy is a faded memory and you are in a bad place fast. Well, that is how satan works. We need to recognize when he there picking away at our peace and joy. We can't be effective christians if all they see are the times we are angry or down. I have begun to notice that he tries to steal mine in the morning as soon as I am done praying. I will be so happy and just getting christian peeps done and the kids will wake up.... that's when I now have to stop take a deep breath so when Graham decides he can't wear a pair of pants "cause they don't feel right" that I just say quietly and sweetly, "okay, go find something to wear" with my teeth clenched ever so tightly. But you get the picture. We have to become more aware of when he begins to sneak in to steal our joy. Stop, count to ten and pray! When we get good at recognizing the signs then we can combat what satan is trying to do. Then we can be more joyful and more peaceful! We can start giving it back to him. Everytime we triumph over him...we are conquering him and we are moving forward with Jesus! I speak joy and peace and triumph over all of us today in Jesus Name! Go out and be effective Christian for Christ! Blessings!
