Exercise for the body and Exercise for the soul

I have just began exercising almost everyday of the week. I am not the kind of person that can do the same boring exercise over and over until I know it by heart, I like to really push my self to my limits everyday. The effect it's had on my body are amazing. However if I don't exercise everyday and miss a day I really pay for it the next day. All this got me to think about the exercising that I need to do for my soul everyday. If I don't then I get spiritually lazy and pay for it. I know this is all elementary but sometimes I need to be reminded how important it is too poor my heart out to God everyday and too read his Word everyday, read it like he is telling me something, to stop and think. What is he saying? What can I learn from this chapter?
I just now am starting to understand that the battle has already been won for me. The powers of darkness cannot stand against me with God on my side, they are to back off if I resist them. There is so much power in knowing this...it's like a all new dimension. It makes me want to not be spiritually lazy so that I can fight harder against the devil. It challenges me to look at every situation through a differant pair of eyes so that I can see the spiritual battle taking place. There are so many everyday situations that come and I would just think this is just the way things are right now, but seeing them from this new dimension I see that there is something spiritual behind so much of my everyday happenings. Things like anxiety, depression, sickness, sick kids, and so called normal everyday stuff. Anxiety and depression is one of the biggest tools of the devil. I have seen him use this card so much in my immediate family. But the victory has already been won. So why do I let my flesh lead me into temptations of worry and doubt. I hate watching my children get assaulted, lately there have been a lot. Normally my response would be to pray, but not with a fighting attitude. To lay down and whine instead of resist the devil.
Last night Gavin had a stomach ache right before bed, which has been happening a lot to all of my kids. I don't think it's just a coincidence that they get stomach aches all the time. It is a total assualt. So after I got out of bed for the third time last night to comfort Gav. because of his stomach hurting. I got mad! Picked up my pillow and crawled in bed with him held his little body close and prayed hard, prayed against assualts and tormenting spirits and continued to everytime he woke up. I slept all night with him and the third time of praying I asked if his stomach felt better. He said yes and fell fast asleep and didn't wake up again untill morning. I relized I didn't get mad like it was an anger issue. But it was something that God rised up in me.
Ephesians 6:12 says, For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly relms. I have always loved this verse but it never REALLY hit me that JESUS not us has won the victory. Another guy put it like this. Each time your spirit goes under and faints in the trials which come to you, you lose mastery over the powers of darkness; you get below them instead of abiding above them in God, Every time you take the earth standpoint, you take a place below the powers of darkness. The matery of them depends on your spirit's abiding in the place above them, and the place above them means knowing God's outlook, God's thought, God's plan, God's ways, by abiding with christ in God.
