Confess your sins to God alone, don't give voice to them into the world, so the evil one comes against you right away and tries to steal the hope that is budding within you. God is the only one you need to worry about. When you bring such things up before your neighbor, it only allows that spirit to come against them too. Deal with your own demons and allow Jesus to subdue them. "as far as the east is from the west" He alone holds the power to remove them for His good and Glory.
