Christians all over the world are facing their own private war. These are trials and afflictions comparable to war zones and bloody battlefields. Often, these painful experiences can seem so overwhelming they hinder our ability to communicate the situation with others. These wars can be struggles of finance, battles with lust, or seasons of heaviness where we become so weary of the fight, we want to give up. God wants us to know there is a way to victory but that he leaves us in the battle to strengthen us. By doing so, we become a benefit to all those around us. If we cry out to God during these times, He will give us the strength to endure and so that His name is magnified, He gives the grace to praise Him.
