Does your battle seem harder than it’s ever been?
Are you counting the reasons you just can’t win?
Are there forces at work who mean to do you wrong?
Are you crying out to the LORD, “How long? How long?”
Is your enemy constantly bringing up your past?

But for those who have read any of my efforts in the past few years, you might be aware of the lulls. Those are days or weeks where nothing is forth coming. And so it has been for almost three weeks now. It is not my audience, not the inspiration or opportunities around me, not even a lack of desire.
