Like a tick on our back that we don't feel or see, Satan has footholds that you may not know about, which are slowly driving you insane. I just took a mirror and spotted that tick by accident, and I need prayer that it may simply fall off, or maybe there's a way to get rid of it, see, 'cause I can't reach it.
Here is Satan's foothold in my life: Worry. Satan takes everything in my life, and causes worry. It's my fault for letting it get to me, but I need more strength to overcome this. See, I have a sense of humor. Well, that seems simple, and my sense of humor is automatic, I don't have to try in order to be funny, but often I find myself worrying it'll go away if I don't try. So I try to make a joke out of everything, and succeed often, yet never am I satisfied, always worried if one thing goes wrong. When Amanda was here with me, I didn't try to be funny, I didn't try to be serious, I just said and did what came to me, and she said she loved me more in person than even on the phone (where I've often tried to be funny, instead of letting it come). So I know I'm naturally funny, and naturally the person she loves, yet I still try to be funny... why? Please pray that I no longer worry about this, but simply be who I am, and have my sense of humor without trying, since I know I don't have to try.
Please, this is a huge step in coming closer to Him.

Heavenly Father, I stand with Ginga in prayer for Antari. Help Antari find the problems behind his worry and then show him the way to overcome them. Give him confidence in you and himself, help him to learn to like himself for who he is and not worry about what others are thinking.
