Scripture
1 Peter 5:6-9
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
Observation
G3533 μέριμνα merimna, worry, concern, anxiety
Application
When dealing with anxiety, Satan’s favorite weapon of choice is cornering you and making you feel like you are totally alone. He figures if he can just get us away from the safety of the rest of the pack, he can attack us and devour us just like lion. The one weapon we can fight back with is realizing we are NEVER alone. God is always with us and so are other believers. We just need to reach out. The bible is filled with stories of people fighting back. Just pick it up and start reading. Satan has no power against our strength when we stand together with God!
Prayer
Lord you are always there for me. I am never alone. There is no way Satan can stand in your presence and he knows that. Please hold me tight. Remind me that you are there and bring others into my life to support and need support. Combined we will stand firm against Satan! ~Amen
