Satan is a real being actively working against humanity, seeking our eternal destruction. When facing his attacks, here are four proven strategies to overcome them:

  1. Stay Alert and Prepared
  • Expect attacks as they're common to all Christians
  • Remember biblical figures like Job, David, and Jesus also faced Satan's attacks
  • Don't ask "Why me?" as trials are part of following Christ
  • Take comfort knowing other believers face similar challenges (1 Peter 5:9)
