Spiritual Attacks

Ever since the 40 Day Impact Challenge has started
I feel like my art skills with drawing people from reference (because I'm drawing 40 faces from my facebook friends list this time around) have been degraded all of a sudden--I used to be able to sketch people from photos out in pen with ease.

Perhaps, I was not as good as I thought I was-- maybe , maybe not. Maybe I just never focused so much on drawing portraits well and that is the cause of my frustration.

But I'm definitely learning something--and it reminds me of Job's circumstance although mine may not be as extreme. For some reason, if I am under spiritual attack by evil spirits and God is allowing them to take the skills He has given me, away---and if I am leaning on Christ, then that is all that matters. Like what Job said, he was afraid that God would allow all that He had given Job to be taken away , but He still trusted in God's Sovereignty, praising Him even through those dreaded circumstances.

God, please help me to continue to trust in you and to flee to You in these times , that if I'm frustrated with having to redraw a face over 5-10 times instead of getting it right the first time, then You would be glorified in my running to You.  If and when I finish each face each day, I pray that You would be most glorified even if the likenesses are not captured at all.

Have mercy on me. *cries*

or I just need to work on portraits more , besides, portraits probably are the hardest thing to draw?
