Day Six | Saturday

Alertness

 

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.

1 Peter 5:8-9 (NLT)

 

Thought

 

Satan and his demons are adversaries of God’s people. They desire to damage and destroy Christians’ lives, often by working through people who oppose us.

 

Prayer Practice

 

Pause
Remember that Satan has been defeated by Jesus, so through faith and prayer, he can be defeated in your life.

 

Rejoice
Thank God you can resist Satan so he cannot control your life.

 

Ask
Ask God to help you recognize satanic attacks, especially when they come through people.

 

Yield
Dismiss tendencies to blame people for personal attacks and instead consider Satan’s role in these encounters.
