Think about the amount of fear that the enemy causes to take place in people's lives daily. What about the unrelenting harassment that is placed upon those who have done absolutely nothing to deserve it? People have to deal with all types of hatred and dishonesty against their good name. One thing that I have personally seen in the lives of others is that God will allow them to go through the storm so that they can come out stronger and wiser than what the enemy would have ever expected. [Just so that we are clear in these posts about who the "real enemy" is, let me briefly explain. The real enemy is satan. Anyone who will allow satan to operate through them is allowing him to use them as a coverup for who he really is and his true plan].
Satan wants nothing more than for your life to be in total disorder. If he can succeed in this, your focus will always be on "how hard life is" while he's steadily writing the order and delivery date for your spiritual and physical casket. Let me be real with you all: satan is not your friend, nor a partner who wants you to achieve in life. As I stated earlier, he'll use whatever or whomever he can get his hands on to destroy people.
OK, I believe you were waiting for that silver lining in the clouds. Yes, there is ALWAYS a way to get through hardships in life while still being in one piece at the end. Take your prayers to God about your enemies. This is not the time to speak harshly to those who have allowed satan to use them. Try doing this: love your enemies. Treat kindly those whom persecute you. YES, IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY! I understand your concerns. However, many of us were once enemies of God. How do you think He reacted to us? He still loved us in spite of our mess.
Think of your walk through the valley as: the time to strengthen your faith and trust in God, the way to get to the other side of your blessing, and finally the victory that you WILL see as long as you take every step as God has ordered. When you emerge on the other side of that valley, your enemies will wonder how in the world you made it there successfully, unharmed, and going stronger than before! I know it to be true because I have experienced it many times before. God will not allow you to sink. Just hold on, go through the process, and watch God take home the victory for you! In case you need a little something to help you believe that God is greater than your enemies, here ya' go: "He Turned It" - Tye Tribbett.
