It is no use for you to mentally wrestle with worries or relationally wrestle with people. By that I mean that you use up all of your strength thinking about how things might be in the future or you use up all of your strength by trying to prove your point to others.
Paul wrote that believers do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but they wrestle against principalities, powers, rulers, and wickedness in high places. When you recognize that you are wrestling with demonically inspired people and thoughts, you will know now to resist the devil.
When relationships are strained to the point where accusations and judgments are declared, rest assured that you are not dealing with people. You are dealing with the devil. When your mind is bound by worry and fear, you also are dealing with the devil. Put on the full armor, call upon Me, declare My name, bind the demons in My blood and command them to go where I will deal with them. I long to fight your battles, but first you must submit yourself to Me and then resist the devil.
