You see when we fail and we all do it's very important that we realize that two things happen simultaneously as we fail number one we feel guilt we feel regret we may do what Peter did right we may go off into the night weeping bitterly but can I tell you what I have observed in our culture in this moment right now what most people do when they fail most people are so uncomfortable with the guilt and the discomfort that they experience they turn to a bottle they turn to a pill they turn to a device they turn to something to numb out the discomfort of the internal pain that they are experiencing by the way do you know all addictive behaviors are in some ways connected to internal pain all addictive behaviors are in some way connected to internal pain but not only do we experience guilt and the regret of our decision at that moment we face an attack from our spiritual enemy.
