sometimes it's not the enemy, it's you.

we have to be careful to not overly spirtitualize everything when it comes to when we feel we are being "attacked", bc as i've been on the my journey with God - i've learned that 2 things can true, while yes - the enemy does run rampant and likes to attack God's sons' & daughters' - it's bc he knows we're in relation with him, - the otherside of the token is that sometimes, the enemy could be you - in regards to how you have a tendency to behave or think, (meaning, self-sabotage, negative self-talk, letting creative ideas remain dormant due to fear/overthinking, procrastination, self-sabatoging due to past experiences, beliefs of unworthiness, and unhealed trauma, etc.) there could be a plethora of reasons as to how this idea can be misconstrued to the point where you could always be shifiting blame to the enemy - when in reality, it's you being in your own way - so, I want to encourage you to reflect on the reality of where it is exactly that these behaviors/train of thinking stem from, who's narrative is it, really? who's voice are you listening to? - prayerfully, i'm hoping that you can get to a place in your life where you'll be able to differentiate the voice/narrative that you've been led to believe about life or yourself and God's voice begins to overpower whatever negative/unhealthy narrative that's been playing on repeat in your mind, whether it's yours', someones elses' or the actual enemy bc you must understand that it's all lies and a plot to get you to become stifled and not grow/heal into the woman or man that God has called you to be.  so, if you struggle with this, don't condemn yourself, let God renew your mind, invite him into this process of helping you to differentiate, pray, stand firm in his word, journal and lean on trusted community to help you through this.
