So yeah...I'm a slow learner

And this week was no different.

I am reading and spending more time with my Father. I notice that as I am doing so, feelings of doubt are creeping into my mind. Trying not to concentrate on them, but they so begin taking over my thought process. It's a relationship issue and I soon start feeling wounded and insecure. Defensiveness enters and I begin feeling bitter and torn with how to handle this pain.
As I am praying for this situation, I catch myself. I have no concrete evidence that this relationship is failing. Why am I so hurt?
Feeling vulnerable, I finally get the nerve to call the friend.
Friend is surprised that I am feeling this way. There is no reason for strife, bitterness or any stress for that matter.
I was being feed lies...at a time in my life, that I was feeling confident and greatly encouraged in my spiritual walk.
It just crept in ever so slowly and soon festered like a blister. I allowed Satan to make me believe that I ruined 'another relationship'.
It happens so slowly and quite rationally in our minds at first that we can actually believe the strife and pain as truth.
After witnessing broken relationships, families at odds and community, as we knew it, in a state of confusion, I am starting to understand how we can allow these lies to enter our lives, accepting them and believing them as truth. Only to see destruction, angst and many stressful situations blossom.
I'm slowly learning...again my need for God's protection in my life.
Have you allowed lies to sweep over your thoughts? How were you able to see the truth?
