I'm sorry this is so late. I guess I thought I'd put it up here but I hadn't. Anyway, this is actually from October 29th.
I've had a tough week. One of those that you get to the end of and you just want to give up and cry.
I value my dreams because God has talked to me through them a lot. I've even tried keeping a dream diary.
Last
Sunday I was on my knees praying for a group of people that I felt
really needed protection, every day but particularly last week. I felt
God's peace but I knew I was going to be attacked a lot this week.
It
came mainly through my dreams. I had nightmares every night. And not
the kind that you can wake up from and everything's better because as
soon as I went back to sleep a new one would start up.
It was tough.
But
I had peace. When I'd wake up shaking and close to tears I'd feel God's
peace calm me and I'd be able to face another dream.
It
makes me sad that we Christians are so often blind to the fact that
there are wars raging every day all over. We get so focused on the
physical wars that we become vulnerable to attacks from the spiritual
ones.
satan's always attacking, always lying, always trying to blind us to what's really happening.
Pay attention!
Not just to the physical but to the spiritual.
I have a friend who has been drawing a lot of attention from satan because of how much she's been standing up for the kids.
Us.
You.
Me.
Them.
The
kids and teens and young adults of today are under a lot of oppression
from him because we're not paying enough attention to see the lies he's
spreading.
Pray for all those kids you know who are struggling with the lies and false joys of this world.
Pray for wisdom for them be able to see through the lies and for you to know how to be a guide in the confusion.
Pray for strength for you to stand firm against his attacks.
Pray for protection for their hearts, that they will desire more than what's just going to fade away tomorrow.
And do not conform to the ways of the world. Do not fall prey to it's lies.
Be in...not of.
John 19:15
Be a light in the lives of the broken world.
Even the smallest light will shine in the darkness.

excellent thoughts.
You're not alone. I frequently have periods of disturbing nightmares, one right after another. I recently had a spell of nightmares that lasted for an entire week. Satan picks those who are strongest and devours them when they are the weakest. It's a compliment. :)
