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)

2. Build a Support Network

• Don't fight alone
• Turn to God first (1 Corinthians 10:13)
• Connect with other Christians
• Actively participate in church community
• Seek support from close friends and family

3. Utilize God's Armor (Ephesians 6)

The six pieces include:

• Belt of truth
• Breastplate of righteousness
• Shoes of the gospel of peace
• Shield of faith
• Helmet of salvation
• Sword of the Spirit

4. Persist After Setbacks

• Always get back up after falling
• Don't let discouragement lead to giving up
• Remember Satan wants permanent defeat
• Trust that God's way leads to true happiness and eternal life

Key Takeaway: Overcoming Satan's attacks is possible with God's help and proper preparation. As Jesus said, "Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world" (John 16:33).
