Sneak attack.

Unexpected emotions that overwhelm can feel like a sneak attack. They come out of nowhere and bring us down.

“We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;” 2 Cor 4:8

When these emotions crepe in. Ask the Lord to show you what is going on. sometimes the Lord is doing a mighty work in your life and other times the enemy wants to pull you away.

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” 1 Peter 5:8
