I believe this is one of Satan's favorite places for us to be at in life. He loves to see us weak. Just when it seems like we are barely hanging on, that's when he will attack. He indulges himself with our insecurities, hurts, fears and is just waiting to use those things against us. When we are struggling, that is when he will attack all the things that are most important to us: our faith, our marriages, our families, our abilities, our confidence and our dreams. He will do whatever he can to steal our joy and throw us the lowest of blows in hopes that we will fall apart.
But the Word of God is bigger than this.
Scripture says, "But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." 2 Corinthians 12:9
We can have peace knowing that the Bible is full of God's promises to us. We just have to believe.
"For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does." -Psalm 33:4
Satan may try to attack and steal our joy, but because of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us, even in the hardest of times, we can cling to hope through the Word of God.
"For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope." Romans 15:4
