At War With Satan

"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
- James 4:7 (NIV)

This week has been awful. On Monday, I realized I completely forgot about a class' homework that was due Sunday night. I had the day off of work, so I finally took my car to the mechanic to get checked out. Turns out they couldn't duplicate the problem and sent me home (figures). Tuesday was alright. Wednesday I woke up and could not stop crying. It was my worst attack in a while. I worked myself up so much I almost passed out. I missed work and class that day.

Tilt table test.

Yesterday, I went to the neurologist to try to get some answers about my random passing out. He prescribed a tilt table test. Fun . . right? They couldn't get me in for another month, so here's to another month with no answers.

While yesterday was pretty good mood-wise, I woke up this morning feeling as crappy as I did on Wednesday. Seriously? Satan, leave me alone.

I've been taking my antidepressants like I should. I was just married to my best friend, and I'm super happy . . but somehow Satan keeps bringing me down. I feel like he has noticed me getting closer to God and isn't a fan. He's pulling me away. I'm getting really depressed all of the time now.

The Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. 

- Ephesians 6: 10-20

All I'm asking is for some prayers. I feel like Satan's been trying to pull me away from God and it's taking a toll on me. I've been reading snippets of the Bible every day and listening to Air1 all day at work (like I usually do). Trying to fill my life with as much God as possible to keep Satan out.
