For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood (or against the powers that be in the sale of our home). As obstacles big and small come, I am recognizing more and more that this is a spiritual battle against the gates of hell and the powers of darkness in BiH. Paul commands me in Ephesians 6:14 to "stand firm, having fastened on the belt of truth." Jesus is the Truth, and I cling to him and to the truth found in Psalm 56, "This I know, that God is for me...in God I trust, I shall not be afraid."
We take the "gospel of peace" (Eph. 6:15) to BiH, so Lord, use this time of uncertainty to grow us, build us, and prepare us to proclaim the mystery of the gospel to a people desperate for you. The battle belongs to the Lord. (2 Chronicles 20)

Amen. Well stated Lia.
