Fear...

Fear is something that seems to be a part of satan's attack on a woman/mother. I recently have realized that this is a huge way that satan attacks me. Ever since Benjamin has been born I worry about everything. I don't always express my worry/fear, but it is there. I worry about every awful situation possible. I find that I have to just give it up to the Lord or I can't get it out of my mind. I literally tell satan to flee in the name of Jesus and that he is not welcome. This works every time. I know fear is not of the Lord, but it is a daily attack. Fear that something is going to happen to Brad at work, or to Benjamin as he sleeps. I even wake up sometimes in the middle of the night because Benjamin is sleeping so soundly that I have not heard him in a while so I get up and go check to make sure he is breathing. I worry about any and every little thing. I know I have to trust in the Lord. I find peace when I pray that I will not fear and that God would just surround my family with his angels. I will continue to battle this, but I know I will overcome it every time because the Lord is on my side.
