The devil may care to have you believe it to be so because he is inviting your state of mind to reside with his, where there is obscurity and doubt and his purpose can live. The devil may care to have you believe you have failed so you won’t be able to settle down. But just recite to yourself what thus says the Lord in Philipians 4:13: I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me. Yes, just trust and believe! Cause’ the devil may care that you will find out GOD’s got whatever you need: peace, joy, inner spirit, and your proclivity to write. The devil would be delighted if you engaged in his activity and just gave up your fight with your inner spirit that knows better. However, GOD is faithful to the letter and in Psalms 37:4 it says, Delight yourself also in the Lord and HE shall give you the desires of your heart. Jo, say a prayer, pick up your pad and pen and let the message from the Lord flow from within. Roz-E
