Sometimes the battle in your mind is proof that God’s trying to do something great in your heart. What you see isn’t the full picture of what God has for you.

Hitting your limit isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s an invitation to shift your perspective. When the enemy brings the battle to your mind, remember that he only attacks what’s valuable. And God’s goodness is your secret weapon to win the fight. If you’ve been asking God: How long is this going to last? How long am I going to be sick? How long am I going to suffer?
