Do not think that the Almighty God stands silently, sadly by and allows you to do yourself harm. He is your Creator and your Maker; He has rights to you beyond those you have yet given to Him.
You are not the center prize in a tug of war between two equal powers. A battle somewhat like this exists; but it takes place only on the field of freewill. When you lay down your will at God's feet, you come to a new level. When you abide in Him, you enter a realm where His rule reigns. It is here you will find peace, peace of mind and heart; the peace for which you long.
But the Lord is Sovereign, whether you submit to Him or not. All things will come together under His reign and His rule. The enemy can act only within the current of this inexorable flow that is bringing all of creation (and all that is) to God.
Scripture: "And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment—to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ" (Ephesians 1:9-10, NIV1984).
