Our potential problems are  sorrows that pierce our hearts. Because the soul properly considers formidable enemies that are not physical. These enemies are carefully hidden behind attractive appearances of good relationships that we make in this world. Because we purely maintain one ultimate allegiance. Most of our relational pressures come from a direct assault on our deep inward dependence on God. We rarely deal with a direct assault. But these kinds of cruel things come through harsh words and a general intent to vehemently oppose us. Most of the time we are like the frog in a pan we just retreat into our Christian shell. Presently this can inevitably become a vastly heroic struggle with acute sorrow. Because after awhile we find that our love for God is virtually retired. This is why we have notorious traitors in our souls. They are scarcely from personal sins. They ill come into us through organized opposition. One of the bleakest realities to deal we think the bible advises us to act. We think it is saying we are merely required to receive this violent opposition into our souls because we must deny ourselves. Consequently, the contradictory message does not matter how we are treated as long as we merely demonstrate disappointed love. Adeptly, the devil is not going to stop bitterly accusing us because we are incredibly kind and affectionate. He is like a roaring and very hungry lion. He is going to attack our faith through a physical trauma or words. But we can be certain that any time we lack a profound sense of the majesty and glory of God there are subversive tactics we are repeatedly face. This is why our fight against forces of evil in heavenly places. These are organized oppositions that persuade us to project an image of God that whirls us to be angry at God. This is why we must guard our hearts fighting for our one love. We must cast down in making an effort to curse these enemies. We are fallible beings who improperly obtain terribly critical experiences. The bible earnestly advises to continue thoughtfully in the unshakable faith. We sometimes are so numb that it seems we are merely holding on not even thinking about genuine faith. We must arouse ourselves. We must engage ourselves in earnest prayer in a determined fight. We must earnestly seek our first love even if we have been resolutely opposed so we are stocked of heartfelt sorrow. It is our ultimate responsibility to diligently seek out these invisible foes. That is divine wisdom applied to the soul. We should humbly implore God for eternal wisdom, carefully manipulating the effective tools of the sacred word to intentionally expose the elaborate lies of our creative thinking. Ardently praying periodically is like chopping down a tree. We promptly attack the expressed doubts with the operative word. We justly criticize the active opposition with fervent prayer. As Jesus did in the private garden. He was ardently praying and sweating drops of blood. The Lord heard His prayer and promptly delivered Him from premature death. He was sincerely praying the Psalms with more consuming passion than any man could naturally produce. He worked up a sweat so intense that the blood came through His pores. His prayers generously provided Him strength to faithfully preserve on to the cross.
