You can not assume that when things start to look good that the sea is calm. That is when the devil tries to distract you by adding strife to your life. ( Do not take your eyes off Jesus) Realize who is the cause of the strife and do not allow him to stress you out. He will try to make you feel like you are a failure by allowing him to let you feel angry and maybe you say something back you wish you hadn't. God knows we are not perfect and we will always make mistakes. Realizing your mistake and trying to correct it is all you can do. It is always harder to forgive yourself but you can not let the devil use this against you.
My temperament by nature is not to take things but a fighter. My grandma Stephens was a meek person and nothing ruffled her feathers ...that is what I am told because she died when I was only 2 so I do not have any memories of her. I would love to be more like her. She was a Godly woman and set a Christian example for her 13 children. For me it is a daily struggle. But with God's help I am getting better. It is just right now I am so tired and I get in reaction mode before thinking about it. When I can rest...like now I can not sleep because other things try to distract me. He is very good at it too because he uses those who you love or those you trust to put stumbling blocks in your path. Every day is learning something new and opening my eyes to things around as to how the devil tries to work me. I think once you realize this it is a step in the right direction.
