Tellin' The Devil Off!
It was late in the night. Sleep was an evasive entity patroling the stygian depths of the night else where. In its place worked the restless thoughts of doubt and worry in a still, quiet voice that said, "Are you sure there is a heaven? You think that you're going to see your family again?"
I tossed and turned all night in a quilt that tangled about my feet! Then I settled my mind and prayed, "Lord, my mind is a maddening place! Please give me peace to understand and peace to rest!" My mind slowly began to ease and rest. Then these words came to mind which I shouted out to the enemy,
"I hear your words, Satan! Therefore you exist! Since you exist God must exist! Since God does exists so does His Word!
Since His Word exists and is all so true ... you in a LOT of trouble!!"
There is a saying that is a great tool: When the devil reminds you of your past remind him of his future!
1 John 4:4 - Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world!

I cannot fathom the expression: "still, quiet voice" because if it is a voice, then it isn't still; if it is still, then there is no voice. I guess I am too literal. Sometimes I feel quite littoral too (all washed up!)
It is a voice of the imagination. Only the owners mind can hear what his conscience reveals.
