Get thee behind me satan
I'm beginning to wonder if there is a black cloud hanging over my head or something. Look, I don't want to go into details. Satan has flung another arrow at our family, that is certain. I'm so tired of it. I'm so tired of poor, poor me. I don't know why he's decided to pick on me and my family. I guess because he's found fertile ground here. He's managed to stir up strife and despair here; maybe he's lazy and likes to go for the low-hanging fruit.
I'm damaged right now, I know it, and susceptible to his attacks. I am so weak and weary and in need of strength, and in my weakness I have neglected the Word and His gifts given in the Divine Service. Would you lift me up? Prayer would be appreciated. A word of Scripture, if you can offer it, would help. Thanks everyone.

Yes, let me help to bear your burden.
First a hymn: "Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing..." You know the rest.
And the Scripture is Ephesians 6:10-17
As happy as I am to be able to read your blog again, I'm sad to read how bad you are feeling.
It all eventually passes. Until recently I felt burned out, sad and about as useful to the Kingdom as a piece of fried chicken!
Grab any moment of joy that you can and hold on. It will get better.
Hugs & prayers to sustain you!!!
First scripture to come to mind:
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil;my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Bless you!!

I'm sorry you're going through this. Just remember He hasn't left you. He's right there with you every step of the way.
Hey Anita, praying for you. Hope things are better by now.
