  1. Oh, Rosilind,
    I haven’t read all off this post .
    I will as soon as I finish sharing this.
    You are so RIGHT.
    THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY FOR US WITH CHRONIC CONDITIONS/ ILLNESS IS TO KEEPING OUR SPIRITS UP.
    TO KEEPING THE DEPRESSION AT BAY.
    TO FIGHT.
    HOW DO WE BEST DO THAT?
    BY PRAYING.
    GETTING AS CLOSE AS WE CAN TO GOD.
    You are right.
    That’s when we need a WAR ROOM.
    NO MATTER WHAT WE USE AS ONE.
    I love yours by the way.
    Keep fighting.
    For your self. Your family.
    For all of us who need reminding.
    Last summer was Unbelievably hard for me.
    Extreme heat and humidity.
    Breaking records.
    Neverending rain. Floods.
    I hate hot and humid weather.
    My depression got really bad.
    My marriage SUFFERED.
    I GOT SICK. REALLY SICK. HOSPITAL STAYS.
    WHY DID IT GET SO BAD?
    I WASN’T FIGHTING SATAN. HE WAS WINNING.
    I WASN’T PRAYING / JOURNALING LIKE I NEED TO.
    I PRAYED. ON THE SUFFACE.
    I PRAYED. . BEGGING. NOT ASKING.
    NOT ALL OWING God to help.
    This year…To be truthful….I am already fighting.
    We never had a winter. Or a fall.
    We have had very few nice Florida days.
    I feel the depression.
    It’s there.
    YET, I AM AT WAR.
    Thank you for this post.
    Sorry for the rambling hugs. Sarah

    1. No need to apologize for rambles at all. I’ve been in similar situations as you’ve described here. Yes, we have to fight, because this is another trap of the enemy to take us out.

  2. Thank you Rosilind for these 10 Bible verses for strength and joy. I’ve had my own health issues for the last 30 years, and I understand exactly what you’re saying. Sometimes no one knows what I’m going through and that would feel very lonely if it were not for God with me. I believe that more people and families go through things and crisis situations than we know about. But in the midnight hour, God is with us and He will help us. God bless you, sweet sister.

    1. Yes, it can be very lonely when you’re walking through a chronic illness that people cannot relate to. But God has been there. Jesus bore our pain and suffering. That is such a comfort to us.

  3. Thank you Rosilind. Every since I saw the movie War Room I have so geared up to make my own War Room. I walked around my house to see if I had a room or a closet that i could make into my War Room. Well I found one room, Ok start laughing, it’s the bathroom. But I figured God doesn’t care were you have a conversation with Him. Anyway, things were going well, up until the last 3 weeks. My father in Law passed away, and everything went down hill from there. I to struggle with fatigue as well. Right know I have to add spiritual fatigue to that list. This is my first week that is semi normal. The verses for strengthening my war room is what i needed. Thank you very much.

    1. Oh Annie – I am so sorry for your loss. It is normal to feel a disconnect when you’ve experience loss, but you are doing exactly the right thing…pushing through. Lean on Christ. He is your strength. I said a prayer for you today.
