Armor of God by Pricilla Shirer

A great way to look at it ...as in being like Paul's thorn. There is so much stigma with society as a whole because of a lack of understanding (or going through such a thing on a continual basis). Yes, there definately is a war going on in the spiritual realm, as well as in the mind. I have prayed and prayed over this issue, I'm not going to say that it can't be healed immediatly, because I know He is able. However, we don't see time as He does, nor think the way He does, He is all knowing! We were all born on this earth with a sinful nature. Some have been brought up in very destructive homes or situations with abuse, which distorts the way our brains develop as a child, which in turn leads to having difficulties dealing with situations. It takes time to heal wounds like that and a restructuring of our thought processes. I have been a believer since I was a child, yet I have gone through some pretty horrific things, as many have. We have to remember He is in control and helps us when we call out, it may not be the way we think or be exactly the method we want. Hardship brings us to our knees. For example, if we were to pray for patience... would that be immediate? My hope is that those who read this may see some light on this issue. Please keep in mind that some people are just trying to reach out when theyre on the brink of destruction, they want help, not harsh words. I myself have struggled with mental illness and still do. It's not pleasant by any means, but we do need to keep seeking and trusting our Lord, Savior, and Friend in all things! Only He knows the real you.
