The quintessentioal battle between good and evil; actually, not a battle. God gave us a choice: follow Him or follow Satan. There it is, all laid out, black and white. :) Well done, another excellent, thought provoking, inspiring write.
The perpetual fight between right and wrong, evil and good. God gave a gift of free will. Something the angels are not allowed to have. Free will. Take the wrong turn and it ain't free no more. Wonderfully insightful poem Et, One of your best!
Your writing is superb and this is a masterpiece of an emotional tug-of-war with the unknown forces which always leave us with more questions than we start out with.

there are many distractions surrounding an inspired mind ... the struggle in continual ... remember, the closer to heaven, the closer the demons are ...
on guard. it's a must do sometimes, isn't it? the task is to do so while remaining open to being surprised by joy. joy to you. sorry I haven't been 'round much, Dawn
E.T., this is one great writing, full of truths and yes, we do have to struggle to keep ourselves above all the demonic thoughts we can have occur. We must keep our eyes on God's word, if we survive!
Your third stanza is like a hammer over the head sugar chum. Amen! This is, in my estimation, one of your most clever and satisfying writes.
Blessings ...
Light and WIsdom and Love ...

Clever demonic thought destroyers
Seek to deflect me from my goal
Making me call on all my resources
Showing them I have stronger forces...

They never cease that is why we must always be on our guard and pray ceaselessly
Those deceptive tear down relationships and then put on their construction hardhat to once again deceive, making the gullible and naive think the hardhat is re-building it all back, when in essence, the hardhat is a destructive wrecking ball, a weak 2 X 4 character who will never support creative endeavor, nor will ever build a solid writing career based on deception. Dream on, hardhat...
