Protect Me From

Truth:  Sometimes God
has to protect us from ourselves…

Here recently I’ve had a few “low” moments…  You know moments like “loneliness”, “sadness”,
and when it just seemed like life wasn’t going the way I wanted it to.  found myself going back to “toxic” situation, doing
things that questioned my greatness, and I made a few bad decisions.  I knew I was just having a moment, but I felt
I couldn’t win, so I went to the places I felt most comfortable.  The scary thing is these places are things
and people I’ve been running from.

Once arriving at destination “familiar”, nothing went right.  It was a disaster and I found myself upset
with God.  I couldn’t understand how He
was allowing this to happen;, why things weren’t going right, and why He placed
so much love in me if I’m not supposed to share it.  The truth is… 
God will protect us even when we become our worst enemy.  You see I had prayed God would deliver me
from some people, things, and situations. 
I asked Him to cover me from hidden dangers and shield me from all
harm.  When going back and things didn’t
work the way I thought that would, that was God answering my prayers. 

Many times we are watching for the visible dangers, pot
holes of life, and looking out for our enemies. 
Every danger is not caused by something or someone else; sometimes it’s
caused by the man/woman in the mirror.   We
pray for protection, but it never crosses our mind, we just may need protection
from ourselves. In our low moments, we can become our worst enemy because we
find ourselves making toxic decisions that are only going to lead to a deadly
result.  If you’re pissed at God today,
let it go…  I’m quite sure He’s just
answering your prayers of “protection”… 
Sadly to say, you’re the enemy He’s shielding you from….
