“Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand” (Psalm 39:10)

Can you relate to this Prayer by the Psalmist? I remember how much I cried this Prayer from my heart. The problems were coming at me from every angle.   

I knew it was not the devil because I was delivered already from the domain of darkness and already a citizen in Christ kingdom.

So I cried out to God and asked Him to stop the blows.  I had no idea why He was flogging me so much. The sufferings  were intense. Relief was not insight at all. 

So I related with this Psalm 39 and prayed:

“Please dad kindly ease off a bit or you will just beat me to death, and the faith of many people will fail; because they will only see how I suffered and died wretched, but won’t see those hidden faults You are working on. So for your namesake, seeing that I am such a slow learner, please kindly help me understand. I’m tired of the blows already to the point of wishing for death”

Truly, the Prayer worked.  The problems assailing me stopped, and by God’s enabling grace, I heard the voice of the Spirit more clearly, made the necessary character adjustments, and my increase multiplied. 

Spiritual warfare is not always about evicting evil spirits. Spiritual Warfare also involves dialogue with God and character building. 

Can you share with us how you overcame some unrelenting issues, so others will benefit? Thank you forward
