Good question. One which I really don't think I could answer.
Do you ever feel so stressed that it feels like you're not going to cope? You feel like you just want to throw in the towel and curl up in a small hole to hide? Yes? No?
Well that's the kind of stress I have been feeling for the past month.
Overwhelmed by workloads that seemed impossible, and almost were impossible. Afraid that I didn't complete them to the proper standard and scared that I'll end up as a complete failure.
My insecurities began to overtake any sense of rationality I had and left me a complete stressed-out mess!
However, I am still alive. It's amazing when you get stressed to a point at which you think you are going to die, and you actually want to. Not because you're suicidal and clinically depressed. Only because you have choosen to believe that dying would ease your burden.
It's ironic how the littlest things stress people out. So is it a spiritual attack, or natural human behaviour?
I think it's natural human behaviour that is further exaggerated by a spiritual attack. Human nature is weak and Satan sees your vulnerability as the right time to strike.
He loves it even more when his victim is a Christian.
Hence, we need to guard ourselves against all evil, especially during our most stressed times.
"Put on the full armour of God so you can take your stand against the devil's schemes."
Ephesians 6:11 (NIV)
