In my life whenever I lost a battle, it was because of my fears.
After all Christ will give us victory over all things, he  give us faith.
The battle is always, in the mind whether we pass or not the test.
Christ wants to show us the areas that we do need to work on here.
Also there are times he wants us to see that we are stronger then we think.
So he will have to allow us to see this first hand through hard times.
For Christ loves each of us more then we shall ever know here on the earth.
But one day we shall join him and he shall review much to us his people.
