There is something uniquely troubling regarding childhood struggles. They seem to be Goliath in comparison to our every day David trials. They grab ahold of deep-seated fears of complete vulnerability. They taunt us with the recollection of our former defenselessness, threatening to take us there again. BUT we have a choice. We can focus on the battle the memories bring OR we can “fix our eyes on the author and perfecter of our faith.” Jesus has promised to “never leave us or forsake us.” He is with us in every trial and can vanquish any foe – even the enemy in my head. God’s “strength is made perfect in weakness” So, I will take my feelings of helplessness to the One who will battle for me, for He who conquered death can overcome my anxious thoughts.
