Battles of the Mind by Joyce C. Lock

Some thoughts on high blood pressure: cause and cure.

If God is truly God and in control of all things, then

the battles we face, whatever they be, are really only in the mind.

Satan is like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. The only power Satan has is to roar, except we give him power over our minds.

Whatever we hope to accomplish, by carrying weights and burdens, is futile. These are yokes God never intended us to carry. The battle belongs to the Lord. In some instances, we have to let go before He is free to take over.

But whatever the case may or may not be, there are times our minds become so worn that Satan seems stronger than we are. In times like these, our vision isn't clear. Satan is never stronger than God and we are His heirs.

Sometimes, remembering truths, we have already attained, is helpful in calling Satan a liar. My favorite remedy, that works even when I have no strength of my own, is to block out Satan's lies and go to God in worship.

Once, I was so far gone that I didn't know the problem and couldn't think of a Bible verse. My brain was about fried. I was so low, had no idea why, and couldn't seem to pull myself out of it.

So, I made up this horrible song, with whatever words came next. It started like this ... "Satan is a liar. His pants are on fire. The cow jumped over the moon." (Pretty lame, huh?)
