- Psalm 118:24 - When we're going through trials and temptations, we need to be reminded that we're children of God and that He loves us more than everything that He created. Then we need to remind Satan the very same thing! If Satan doesn't have you doubting your salvation does he have you doubting something else? Knowing that God has given us this day, let us not put our worries on everything but rejoice in Him that He has so blessed us. Rejoicing in the blessings of Lord instead of dwelling on ourselves.
- James 1:1-5 - Count it joy when you fall (meaning to be surrounded with) diverse (many) temptations. When you mess up, shake the dust from your feet and move forward (Matthew 10:14) The trying of our faith works patience in us. And if you lack, then ask of God and He will give it to you.
- James 4:6-10 - When your not feeling encouraged in the Lord of on fire for God an Satan beats up for it, remind Satan that you are a child of God! Resist the Devil, humble yourself before God and submit to Him, an Satan will flee from you. God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. Go to God, cleanse your hearts and purify your minds... don't crawl in to the fox hole and listen to Satan tell you how filthy and dirty you are... but crawl to God and let Him cleanse you.
- 1 Corinthians 10:11-13 - God will not allow you to be tempted more than you are able to endure. He will make a way to escape the temptation. There is no temptation that other people have already been through.
- 2 Peter 2:9 - Remind Satan how that God knows how to deliver His people out of temptations
- Luke 10:18-19 - Remind Satan how God gives us the power to endure that nothing shall by any means hurt us.
- 1 John 1:8-10 - Remind Satan that God is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and cleanse us!
