i know worry isnt good for you. but lately ive been worrying and worrying. whenever i have time to myself, just even for a minute- my mind wanders back to a certian issue. i cant help it. and i hate the feeling. im a person who rarely worries. but this.. just kinda hit me.

Carl is this guy who lives with us at our house. hes 23, and hes kinda like my older brother now... My dad is a priest, and took him in so that he would stop doing drugs and whatnot. hes clean now- and a really nice guy. again, hes like my older brother.

God gave him the gift of discernment. this means he can sense things...like how your spirit is and stuff like that. well...yesterday we were talking, and he told me that God showed him when the devil was going to try and attack me.

it is going to be when i go to college. hes gunna try and pull me down through my art and my friends. waht a sneaky sneakly little ...(using a more appropriate word)- jerk. he knows that i would never want to betray my friends, and that i would stay loyal and i would never wanna do anything that would hurt them. what a sneeky ... little piece of crap. he will try to kill my relationship with God through my friends and my art. and i got so scared.

i know i may not read the bible everyday, or pray everyday- im not like that type of christian. and i know i should, i know it would be good for me.... but i can never get into the habit. but i do go to church every sunday- and it may not seem like it mabye- but i really respect and love my faith with God.

But im afraid.

im afraid that if i go to college, what the devil is planning may work. and i dont want that to happen. at all.
i dont want to lose my relationship. and it worries me alot. and when i think about it, it puts me into this like..depression.

I'm even concidering NOT going to college..just so i dont hafta face it. but i know the devil will try other ways to pull me down.

im just scared that i dont have ... the sort of things i need to protect myself from this. i feel so veunerable right now.

Carl said that if persaveared (sp?), and won against the devil, my art would grow so much- and i could 'just heal people without saying anything. just draw a drawing for them, and they would be healed.'

but everyday now...every hour, minute, second- i dread more and more about going to college.

i dont know what to do.

please pray. :/

Ok, chill out. This guy is not God, he does not knwo what the future holds. I have someone close to me with the gift of decernment, and they do not tell me my future. They can see to the heart of matters, but not what the future holds.

Only God knows what the future holds. And-> God is omni-present (He can be everywhere at once) and Satan is NOT. I seriously doubt the Devil himself is going to attack you. A demon perhaps, or just sinful people and circumstances, but dont' get all wigged out about Satan attacking you.

I don't know how much I would trust what was said. The guy may be a good guy, but do you trust he knows what God has instore for you? I think only God knows what the future holds.

Don't fixate on this either. PRAY pray pray if you are worried. I am very worried about many things right now, and I tend to obsess about issues, when I could spend alllll that time an energy praying about them instead, what a much better use of my time!

God loves you, and wants what is best for you. Sometimes, alot of the time, that means going through some fire to be refined. And you will be attacked in your life time, if you are on the path for God. Satan doesn't have to mess with you if you are minding your own sinful business, its when we are trying to glorify God that he rears his head and sends things our way to trip us up.

All the same I am praying for you dear.

Don't be afraid gal. There's nothing to fear but fear itself.

My pastor (and a few friends) had a number of demonic occurances, and he said he was deathly scared at first, but over time he started to get annoyed by them.

If satan ever bothers you, just remind him of his future and he'll go away :-p I heard that on the radio.

God is your sword and shield, use it =D

or if you perfer, God is your kevlar vest and FN P90 Submachine gun

Trust me, worrying is completely pointless. You don't know exactly what is going to happen, and you don't know how it will happen. Also, God would not allow you to know this if you weren't going to be able to handle it. Pray about those parts of your life and keep it in the back of your mind. And remember that temptations and negative situations aren't a guarantee of failure. They're a chance to succeed and ultimately be a witness of God's power to overcome. New, difficult trials will always come your way, whether you are told in advance or not. Rather than worry, you should take this time to prepare yourself for college life. As MSP said, God is your protection. I will be praying for ya.

Don't worry! I'll be praying for you.

1 John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

God is in you if you believe. Believe in Him and He will enable you to fight the battle.
