Boxing with Satan

This first year of college has been the hardest thing I have yet to encounter in my young life. Making friends was something I thought I could handle, but apparently its harder than I expected. I think a large part of it is Satan wanting me to believe I'm alone, because I've made friends but I often feel like I don't have close friends that understand me. Once Satan gets his foot in the door by making me believe I'm alone he starts to work on my self-esteem. He does his very best to convince me that I am of no worth at all and that I will be alone for the rest of my life. But it's all a lie! He wants to keep me from serving and worshiping the Lord. I am determined to not let the devil have his way. I'm up for the fight. Round one may not have been what I thought it was going to be. And round two I'm struggling to breath. I may be knocked down and so bruised. But I'm here to tell you...I MAY BE KNOCKED DOWN BUT NOT FOR THE COUNT. I'll come out swinging. I'm telling you now, I'm not going to lose this. He's messing me up, but I'm still here. I am not defeated, though you cannot see it, I have never won a battle on my own. The GOD ALMIGHTY is on my side!
