Dear Suzi,
 
Yes, we are living in a war zone. This is a spiritual war zone where Satan and his crowd of demons and evil spirits are ready to take us out whenever they can. Pray always to the Holy Spirit, Jesus and the Father that you are protected and strengthened to stand against this spiritual enemy force. They know their time is limited and they want to destroy us to thwart God's plans for our future.
 
Forget the long memorized prayers and the formalities usually associated with praying. Just be quiet and ask for help. Be sure to express your thanksgiving and praise too. He is wonderful and will never leave you nor forsake you, ever. He loves you, Suzi, more than you or any of us here on earth can know right now. But someday we will know many things and understand Him more fully.
 
He is your friend and he is the almighty creator of the everlasting world that we inhabit. He created us and knows our every thought. He can speak to us in many ways, including the Internet if he so chooses. Do not fear what is unseen, for he is there also. Without his presence nothing would or could exist. Relax and enjoy your knowing that you are destined to rule and reign in his universe. You are special, destined to be an eternal member of God's family.
 
It's all about faith, how much we need and lack and how much is required of us. With that faith goes the moral responsibility to pray for others who have more pain and difficulties to bear than us before their faith will be established forever. Pray always pray Suzi for others and you will find your faith will increase, your fears will decrease and you will experience the comfort that God's love will shower into your soul.
 
Take care.
 
YBIC
