Battles of the Mind by Joyce C. Lock

Not didn't feel like singing at all, there was no song in my heart. I couldn't have worshiped if I’d tried. Though, I kept singing, and singing, until the words gradually transferred to words like "Jesus is the Victory".

Still not feeling the words, however repetitious it was, I kept singing until the words gradually began to take on power. With each degree that I could better feel God's presence, the burden felt lighter and lighter until the evil presence was gone.

There's a song about things fading in His presence and the things of this world growing strangely dim, in the light of His glorious face … absent in body, present in spirit. Sometimes, God allows such circumstances to call us to take a vacation; to go away and just be with Him.

Once, I think I spent a whole week at escaping with God. It was so wonderful; I didn't want to come back. It is a guaranteed fix for stress related high blood pressure.
