A short but important realization: On Sunday night, I was home trying to get homework done when the enemy started to attack me in my thoughts. I’m vulnerable there because my OCD causes me to doubt many things, including the assurances of God. But I remembered some of my other friends in Christ have said the enemy can’t be around when we sing praises to the Lord. “Shout to the Lord” by Hillsong Worship (one of my favorite worship songs) was in my head, so I started singing silently. I immediately felt the peace of God as the thoughts of doubt quickly fled! I hope this message gives you a weapon from the Lord to defend against the enemies attacks!

James 4:7 – resist the devil by submitting to God, which we do when we sing praise and gratitude to God.
