Overcome

I fall asleep every night speaking scripture to myself... "Trust in the Lord.." "The Lord is my strength.." "I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me..." But sometimes I get angry. I get angry that I will wake up, dreaming about him, and realize that he is just a part of my dreams now, and he is my nightmare in reality. This morning I awoke, feeling overcome with emotion. I was shaking, I was throwing up, the reality that he is not in my life anymore sickens me. In those moments it feels hopeless.  I feel overcome- as if Satan is getting the victory over me. But, no! Behold! JESUS has overcome! My emotions will not be overcome by the attacks and the darts that Satan throws at me because my Lord and Savior is risen...and He has already prepared a place for me. He promises me in His word that He will never leave me nor forsake me. So as I walk to classes today, I will repeat in my head over and over, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." <--- WHAT A PROMISE!
