Brothers and Sisters in Christ

Attack is so ugly and disturbing.  It amazes me how quickly Satan can rear his ugly head.  One minute everything is going just fine and the next you feel like you are carrying a weight the size of Texas on your shoulders.  I have learned to recognize this quickly, but it doesn't stop the attack, unfortunately.  This is the time when having brothers and sisters in Christ is crucial.  I immediately text my inner circle and ask for prayer by calling out the attack, so Satan can't get a deep foothold.  I am amazed, which I feel a little ridiculous about because I should expect it, at how quickly I begin to feel the weight lifted.  I may still have struggle and feel a bit of pressure, but the heaviness leaves and peace begins to take over.  God calls us to be part of the body and this is one of the major benefits.  We care for each other and hold each other when life seems to overcome us.  I pray that each of you has that someone or many someones in your life that you are connected to spiritually who can come to your aid, in times of attack and in times of great need.
