Good advice ^.
We have to take up our cross, but Satan's not part of it, he doesn't have any rule over you, you can tell him to shut it, you're living for the Lord now. He's really a stupid little snake, you can step on him, we gotta learn not to fear his bark too much. The fear that keeps us out of danger is fearing making our Father angry and hurting Him, not the fear of the lowly dog who's done for when our Jesus comes back.
On top of that, I've found that learning things from scripture gives you a peace of mind that you could get without that knowledge, by just having faith. XD. Easier said than done, right? Not that you don't turn to the word, but when you can't you can rest knowing there's just something that you don't know yet, but you can tell the devil to buzz off, and then rest assured. Even when His word isn't in your mind, He's with you, just focus on Him. If you're not feeling anything it's okay too, you can just be still and know that He is God, and continue walking the way He'd want and loving people, trying to see them through His eyes. We may not know what's going on, but He lives, and His will will be done.
If you walk through hard times, feeling like He's not there, but never turn from Him through it all, think of how much he'll hug and kiss and bless you once you see Him around the next corner!
Because you stuck it out by faith, without even needing to be blessed with something of the world to get you by. You pressed in, searched, and waiting on Him.
The more you see His power, the easier it is to believe, but something always comes and complicates things,a nd seams to be more real than the last problem. So remember the simplicity in Christ, and remember that you will face trials, and that scripture, sincere humble prayer, time in worship, and just submitting to His will, will cause things to come together and He'll make all things new, and make grace abound to you. In His time. He is faithful.
God bless you.
