#9 | Spiritual Warfare Is Real: My Wake-Up Call & God’s Faithfulness

⚠️ Warning: This episode is about spiritual warfare.
Have you ever let your prayer life slip a little… [I know I have :/] only to feel the consequences in ways you never expected? That happened to me recently, and in this episode of The Discerning Mother, I’m sharing a dream that shook me - one that reminded me just how real spiritual warfare is. And, how important it is to prioritize God. 
I had been wrestling with personal decisions, and in my vulnerability, the enemy tried to creep in. But, thankfully, God always wins.
In this episode, I talk about:
How the enemy tries to attack when we are spiritually weak
Why staying rooted in prayer is critical
How God remains faithful and always responds when we call
If you’ve ever experienced something like this, you’re not alone. Send me a message - I’d love to pray for you.
