how do I win the fight when the enemy is in me? how can I run from myself.... # feeling so stuck like I'm in a quicksand....the more I move the more I sink ......I tell myself if I take the alternative to keep very still maybe my troubles will disappear......but they don't... # feeling exhausted
 
There will be times when we are in high waves in a storm with no end in sight. We feel stranded, stuck, unsure, and lost. I firmly believe that is when God is really calling us to pray and tell him everything. For me, I had to surrender all. Once we realize that we can't do it alone, is when mighty things happen. I finally figured this out one night. It dawned on me that God closed doors and he wanted them to be forever closed. That is when he started to open new doors. That will happen for for you too. Surrender all. Give everything to God, all your struggles, desires, everything. Start talking to Jesus., he is ALWAYS with you. Be blessed. May you feel the touch of Jesus upon your heart this day, and everyday.

Greetings @Emilia

Flood you heart with some of the wonderful unfailing promises found in the Bible
Focus on the Lord, He is victor, the enemy is already defeated and has no business in your heart
Rejoice in these promises.....sing His praises.....the joy of the Lord is your strength
Take Him at His word, it will never ever fail you


Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee.
Isaiah
26:3


Not Thou might but Thou wilt .....Praise the Lord!

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31


Not might, not maybe but shall.......Praise the Lord

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:35-39
 
Greetings,

may I suggest a turn around in your approach to what you label as your troubles?
Begin thanking the LORD for each trouble as often as they trouble you.
YES, thank the LORD and begin to see that in each 'trouble' there is a beautiful opportunity prepared for you.
In our weakness, His strength and grace can abound if we will give thanks to Him!

1Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Psalm 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Bless you ....><>

I bet you are exhausted. You have been at this cross-road for sometime now. Many have replied with some great thoughts and suggestions, for which you have posted likes to. It is time that you put some of these into action. God bless!
