"6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 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."
1 Peter 5:6-9
"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you."
James 4:7-8a
Are you being tested, going through trials, being shaken?
You are probably on the right track then!
The devil, our enemy, is on the prowl, and on the other end, we are being shaken to get us free of junk that may be hanging on and dragging us down, impeding our walk.
How can we battle our ancient and vicious adversary?
The Bible says submit ourselves to God, and as to the devil - to resist him, and he will flee.
To submit ourselves to the Lord is to totally trust him, cast all our cares and anxiety on Him. Being alert and of sober mind is spiritual situational awareness- as soldiers armed with the weapons of spiritual warfare- an active prayer life, where we are communing with the Lord, listening to the Spirit, and feeding ourselves on the Word.
So don't fret or worry, you are not alone, PUSH ( Pray Until Something Happens), do not be double minded, resist the enemy.
Compared to our God, he can't touch us...our victory is assured!
