Attacked?

When the attack by the devil is the worst, does that mean God has awesome things in store?
When it feels like there is a demon at every entrance, invading the sanctuary of my home, is God allowing it to grow me? Is the devil running free? Or is it both, God allowing the devil to grow me through His attacks?
Is God saying something and asking me to wake up? Or is it simply an attack that I need to stand firm against? Or is it simply because I’ve been sleeping in my spirit and through prayer enough to allow that opening? But again, does God use the fact that the devil attacks to awaken us to the need for Him, for reliance for prayer etc…?
Feels like an AND type situation, rather than a “but.”
In the end it probably doesn’t matter. Simply get down on my knees and pray. Ask for God’s intervention and beg for eyes to see what He is doing. And of course trust that He is God and has things well in hand.
