Based on John 8:32, John 8:44

*Let this God inspired writing, from His heart to yours, help you to see that you are making it through life, even when the problem is attempting to convince you otherwise.

How many times have we tried to convince ourselves that we aren't making it, when we really are? We sit and take in the depth of each problem, until they have convinced us that we have already been defeated, when we aren't. You see...there may be a pit of destruction below us; but there is a powerful God standing above us...holding tightly to us...while suspending us above moments that could otherwise spell out defeat.
The problems we're facing may be distracting our minds and hearts from true reality, through evils deceptive thoughts; but when we take hold of the truth; that we are walking...talking...and functioning; that is when the deceptive lies are brought down and the truth prevails, as we begin to see that we are making it. 
Just because the symptoms of our problems are very much alive within us...until a time is reached, for God to relieve us of these afflictions; doesn't mean that they have the power to destroy us; for the One who allows these moments, also has control over these moments...and just as God allowed Satan to afflict Job, while controlling and using every moment, to bring about something better; He to, will do the same for us...for what Satan sees as an opportunity to destroy; God sees these times, as an opportunity to rebuild.
We are being given two paths to walk down, during the difficult times of life...the path of deception; that only leads us away from true reality and what God is up to...and another path, which allows us to follow God, through a heart of trust, while living and learning along the way. 
When we can find the strength to walk away from the path of deception; then the path of truth will lead us to what God had planned for our lives all along.
