I could so relate to Stormie’s opening vignette in this chapter…. there have been times where I could not understand why I was so down. There was absolutely no reason for me to be down, and I seriously thought I needed to call my doctor to see if my antidepressant needed to be increased. It wasn’t until I was on Facebook, and I just all of the sudden got into one of my Youtube kicks…. I started posting praise songs left and right. Praise You in this Storm, Who Am I, East to West , Grace Like Rain, Lead Me to the Cross… one after another, these songs came to mind. I sang them as a posted them on Facebook, all of the sudden my mood changed. I was praising God and it chased Satan away. He had stolen God’s word away from me, and all these praise songs brought them right back.
I play in a classic rock band. There are times when I get so involved in listening to those songs on Pandora, I find that I have more troubles in my life when I completely move away from worship music. We started off doing Classic Rock/Modern Worship performances, but soon, demand was asking more for our classic rock side…. The words in some of those songs can really lead your mind down the wrong road…. and I find myself being so stuck on listening to that kind of music… but last night, God reminded me on my 4 hour + drive from my parents house to home, that I needed to spend that time with him…. so on Pandora, I plugged into my Christian contemporary station and listened to that most of the way home. It really lifted me up after the reason I went to see my parents…. both are having health issues and I feel so far away from them. But I refused to entertain the vision Satan was trying to give me… “what a bad daughter you are for not being there for your parents….”, “why aren’t you doing anything to help them.” “You are too involved in your own life to even care about theirs…” I choose to focus on the reason for this season in my life…. God has a plan for every one of us. His will be done, not mine.
When Satan camps out in your mind, what do you do to keep him at bay and run him off?

i love this! sometimes I find myself feeling depressed for no reason. i hate the feeling, and sadly sometimes I will beleive the lie of the enemy that there is nothing I can do about it. we have to remember we are in a spiritual battle, where satan is doing everything he can to keep us from God. i find worshipping really helps along with just smiling! at first you kind of laugh at youself, but it really helps!
