The following is a poem written by a dear lady and prayer warrior.  For many years, she has been encouraging others through her words of wisdom, compassion, and truth.  Her name is Beulah Kitzmiller and her son Rusty has also been a wonderful friend for many years now. 
Rusty, who is the Development Director at Calvary Christian Academy in Cresaptown, MD, shared this poem with me the other day, knowing I needed a word of encouragement.  It touched my heart so much that I wanted to share it with my friends.   Thanks Mrs Kitzmiller!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                                Satan’s Tricks
One of Satan’s most cunning tricks
Is to get Christians depressed,
He can then be off to other fields,
Self-pity will do the rest

As a shining angel of light,
He will slip in unaware,
Bringing darkness to your heart-house,
Filling each room with despair

He’ll tell you that you’re unworthy
To seek your Saviour’s face,
And make you doubt Christ’s finished work,
“Salvation through faith by grace.

He’ll bring to mind forgiven sins,
Dragging each one to and fro;
Until you cower at the feet
Of this unmerciful foe

He’ll tell you…works and works alone
Will redeem your precious soul
When Christ shed His own precious blood,
Gave His life to make you whole

He’ll hammer you til faith grows faint
And then leave you in despair,
To weak to call upon the Lord,
To seek His dear face in prayer

Beware!  Beloved Christian friend,
Give this foe no time nor space;
Lest he rob you of happiness,
The assurance of God’s grace

“For by grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God–not of works, lest any man should boast.”   Ephesians 2:8-9
