Satan,
I know you've been doing your best to pummel me lately. You've launched attacks on my health and safety. You've tweaked our car so it won't run right and put a leak in our bank account. You've tried to torment me with discouragement, fear, anger, and shame. You've even done your best to destroy the very foundations of my faith and family. What's more, you blame everything on me, placing false guilt on my shoulders.
I admit you've shaken my emotions, but you and I both know that you can't really touch me, and that's why you're so mad. You know your future includes imprisonment and a horrific lake of fire, and that my future is filled with hope and joy.
So go ahead, give it your best shot! I am not afraid of you! I am hard pressed but not in despair. I am persecuted, not abandoned; struck down but not destroyed. Though the earth trembles and mountains topple, I am not afraid!
I am under the protection of Almighty God. He is my refuge and strength. He is El Roi, the God who Sees me, and nothing can separate me from Him! I run to Him each time you attack me, and He is attentive to my needs. He will not let you succeed. Because of His victorious work in me, I am more than a conqueror. You SHALL NOT defeat me!
(see Psalm 46, Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8, 2 Corinthians 4, Revelation 20)
