Joy

This past year I have been struggling with depression. I wrote about it earlier because I needed prayer but then deleted the post because I was ashamed. For those of you who were praying for me, thank you very much. Since coming back to school, I have been trying to really get my focus on God. Last night while praying I started to pray the armor of God over my life. I realized that our helmet is salvation. Helmets protect the head. I am saved so why am I allowing the enemy to shoot his darts at my mind?! I asked God to protect my mind and to renew it and to replace these depressive feelings/attitude with His joy. He has! God gave me the joy back that I have allowed satan to rob. The battle may not be over, but I know that I have God on my side and God is more powerful then the attacks of the enemy.
