Practice and it will work!

Written on 25 July 2017
It is by the grace of God that I enjoy the benefits of fellow believers in office. Two of them met up with me as they worried about me and want to help me get back up. There are many things I learn from them. So I want to write those tactical tips so that I can practice using them. Also to remind myself that it is normal to be up and down and even if we have all the weapons ready, we need to practice using them in order to fight. Similarly, there is no need to be afraid when the attack is coming because the more attacks the more chances I can practice using the tactical tips.

The first tactical tip is move. If we are knocked out by attack, get back up. Whenever possible, give counter attack. By what we counter attack? It is by the Word of God. God is all powerful and only Him can deal with my unique struggle.

So the second tactical tip is to say the Word of God. It may look stupid, but counter each negative thought with the promise of God, with what God says about it. Let's try:
- When I feel like a failure, remember that God says we are fearfully and wonderfully made in Him.
- When I feel afraid, remember that God says do not be afraid for He is with me
- When I feel anxious, remember that God says cast anxiety in Him for He cares for us and that do not be anxious but in prayer, request anything and the peace of God that surpasses understanding will guard my mind and my heart.
- When I fall again, remember that God says those who believe in Him will fall seven times (means many many times) but will also rise up seven times (every time we fail)
