Often Christians think their 
inexplicable lows and lethargy can be explained, so they look for rational reasons.
After 
all, that is what counseling is often about.
But Soldier of the Cross, we 
have an enemy who hates us more than words can express. He is also able to produce 
symptoms in our lives that feel completely real.
Why does the Lord allow 
this? We do not have the complete answer. We do know that our endurance has to 
be developed, and sometimes we must learn by fiery trial.
That does not 
mean we sit and just wait it through. While there are seasons during which there 
seems to be no relief, we must also recognize there are certain sly assaults of 
the enemy that can only be overcome by corporate prayer.
Although it is 
rare, there are also those believers who are experienced in deliverance, and are 
gifted in counseling. Sometimes those individuals also have the gift of healing.
But 
Soldier, it will not last. It is a storm and you must cling to The Rock.
Don't 
go through it alone, but find a Soldier who prays and a Body that will lift you 
up until the gale ceases.
And, cease it will.
