Fight the good fight


Sometimes we feel like everything in life is against us. Do ever you feel like as soon as you have finally accomplished something or are close to a perfect reality, it all falls apart. Many times we blame God and get mad that he would allow this. However, if the world was perfect why would we need God? Something that I have had to learn is that God does not give us trials. He allows them, so that we can grow and so He can do something better out of it. Life is like a war. Every day there's a new battle to face. For me my battles have lasted 3 years. The anxiety in my life and the depression have made me feel weak from the fight. When you're in the battle you often don't think anything good could come from it, but God has shown me and many others that it can reach people and change people for good. God doesn't leave us alone to fight it. In fact, the Bible says that he is at the front lines of battle with us going through it all. 

Deuteronomy 20:4 "For the Lord God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory."

Deuteronomy 3:22 " Do not be afraid of them the Lord God himself will fight for you."
The Lord is your strength through it all. We keep on fighting this war for our God and King, and He fights for us just the same. 

2nd Timothy 2:3 says, "Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus." 

We go through the suffering to become better soldiers. One quote that I love is, "God doesn't give the hardest battles to the toughest soldiers, He creates the toughest soldier through lifes hardest battles." Keep on fighting, and you will grow closer to God because you have to depend on him. You will become stronger day by day and grow in your faith. Even when you feel weak, God is your strength.

-BATTLEGROUND-
They say don't be emotional
Stop playing round
But I'm telling you now
My mind is a battleground
A growing war
An uneasiness as I sleep
I'm fighting each day
as I smile to cover the pain
You dont feel the things I feel
No one is the same,
we each bring a new thing
But I feel I'm the last one standing.
Going against an army.
An army specially trained to take down my kind
I'm to week from the fight
To tired to stand
But I have a secret weapon
The armor of God
A belt of truth,
a breastplate of righteousness,
the shoes of the gospel of peace,
A shield of faith,
the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit
You cant take us down.
Our army holds a God, a king
Who doesn't stand by
But is at the frontlines helping,
Protecting, and ensuring an eternal life.
He died on a cross of shame.
After being tortured and beaten.
Put on trial for His life
and betrayed by man kind
But even that didnt defeat Him
The same man kind that betrayed Him
He died to save them
He loves them
And I believe in my King
As a soldier of Christ
2 Timothy 2:3
-Faith Burden

Psalm 20
"May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;
    may the name of the God of Jacobprotect you.
2 
May he send you help from the sanctuary

    and grant you support from Zion.
3 
May he remember all your sacrifices

    and accept your burnt offerings.[b]
4 
May he give you the desire of your heart

    and make all your plans succeed.
5 
May we shout for joy over your victory

    and lift up our banners in the name of our God.
May the Lord grant all your requests.
6 
Now this I know:

    The Lord gives victory to his anointed.
He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary
    with the victorious power of his right hand.
7 
Some trust in chariots and some in horses,

    but we trust in the name of the Lordour God.
8 
They are brought to their knees and fall,

    but we rise up and stand firm.
9 
Lord, give victory to the king!

    Answer us when we call!"
Psalm 144:1

"Praise be to the Lord my Rock,

    who trains my hands for war,
    my fingers for battle."


Please listen to these songs carefully and keep on fighting for and with God:

Easter Promise

Today is Easter. The day when we celebrate Jesus conquering death by rising again. If you're like me, you can go numb to the power in that statement. To help, I think of it this way: The Bible says that God is our father. Our Father in Heaven sent His Son, Jesus, to die. Jesus was beaten, mocked, spit on, ridiculed, and then given a crown of long sharp thorns that were beaten into his head. Prior to that, He was under such extreme stress since He knew that all of that was coming that hematidrosis set in. That is when blood vessels rupture in the sweat glands causing Jesus to sweat blood. He went through all of that emotional and physical pain because He loved us to the point of death. If you have heard anyone talk about how they would die for someone because of there love for them, Jesus already did that even though we don't always show Him love in return; Even though the ones He died to save included those who killed Him. That death included whips digging into His back, bei...

What is Love?

     The question that we all ask ourselves at some point in our lives is, “what is love?” Is it, doing things for others, is it seeming to enjoy being with someone more than just as friends. Is it a sacrifice? Is it 50-50 I do something for you, you do something for me. Is it blind? There are a lot of views and opinions on what love could be and what it isn’t. I think that it’s an important question to be answered especially if we are called to love others. I figure the best way to find the answer to that is to ask love itself. 1 John 4:8 says that “God is love.” Now we have added to the question of “what is love”, “who is God?” if we learn more about God we learn more about how to love. The Bible says that God is our Father in Heaven, so is a father's love for their child the perfect love? For some that would make love very difficult and no father-child relationship is the same or perfect so we can’t fully trust our world's imperfect example. I think the best answe...

Guide Of Life

Hey everybody! First off  I would like to apologize for the very late post. I have been in the process of moving and to be honest have been trying to figure out things for myself. My depression has escalated in a way that I am still trying to figure out how to handle. Throughout all of it I am trying to find where my personality went after my anxiety stole it. One thing about depression, at least for me, is that everytime I start to understand it, it changes. It's really draining to be hit with the same thing over and over and yet everytime not know how to cope with it. That is why I haven't posted. I am trying to learn to cope with the depression that is all rooted within my own mind. I get confused on why I cant seem to catch a break in this and so I didnt know how to write about what I learned when I dont even know what to learn yet. It's hard to see the bright side or the knowledge that is to be learned when you are hit head on with all of the trials that come with o...
