Going around that mountain....again

​Why does it seem we go around some of the same mountains over & over or in other words, find ourself in the same situation or fighting the same battle time & time again???
Because we were not made to be self-sufficient and do not have it in us to fix ourself. We are promised trials & tests in this life. And I believe they can grow our character to be more like Jesus and less like our selfish selves if that’s how we choose to look at them. I believe they point out triggers/roots God wants us to deal with to bring freedom in that area. I believe they prepare us to grow more & more into who we were created to be and to build our patience, trust in God and endurance to keep moving forward.
God never intended us to keep living in circles, fighting the same battles. He actually gave us His Holy Spirit to get through the tests & trials after we give our heart, life & desires to Jesus. The Holy Spirit dwells in us to give us the ability to get through the troubles of this world and move us into more freedom with each passing day.
Thank You God for always giving us a way of escape from everything we find or put ourselves in. You are faithful and in You I put my full trust!!!
Father, reveal the triggers & roots deep within and give us Your wisdom to know where to go, what to read, who to see, etc. to heal from them and walk in the freedom Jesus gave His life to give us! The enemy comes ONLY to kill, steal & destroy us BUT JESUS came to give us life & life in it’s fullness. I trust You! In Jesus holy & precious name, Amen!!
