There’s a real battle happening around you—one you can’t see, but one you absolutely feel. The discouragement, the distraction, the temptation, the chaos, the pressure… none of that is random. You’re being opposed by an enemy who studies you, targets your weaknesses, and would love nothing more than to keep you spiritually asleep. Most Christians underestimate this. Some ignore it. Others assume it’s “just life.” But the truth is far more sobering: we live in a world where good and evil grow side-by-side, and you are either actively standing firm or slowly getting pushed backward.
