On May 4, 2009 at 9:29pm. I was sitting in the parking lot of a pizza place with my wife. While we were sitting there a rush of fear came over me about Lil Will. I did not mention anything to my wife about it and I wasn't going to pray about it but I had to do something, so I asked God what was this. He said, "Stay focused son. The enemy wants to undermine your faith. You are the strongman. If he cane get you off balance or take you out, it will cause a ripple effect throughout your household. Remember, call to mind the things I have spoken to you."
Later that night I emailed two of my closest friends and share my thoughts and emotions about what I was experiencing. It is always good to have at least two friends who know you but what is most important that they know God. I have discovered that a man can have friends but not the kinds of friends that will help you stand in your times of weakness. I have two friends who are as different as day and night but they have hearts after God and I knew when I reached out to them that I would get a Godly answer. A godly answer don't necessarily mean a answer that you will agree with or one that will appease the emotions, but it is an answer that will cause you to stand in faith, no matter what you see or what you hear. Godly answers are eternally true.
You may not have friends like I'm speaking about or you are the kind of man who is an introvert. When you are going through hard times and you don't know what to do or fear has gripped you, pray. Not only pray but begin to write in a journal to God about your concerns and look for him to respond to you.
Wow! This is so powerful! I thank you for this. Sometimes we just need to see it in a different way to realize where we are in our walk.
