Scripture: 1 Peter 5:5-11

The devil's Strategy

• Encouraging pride so God opposes you
• Stirring anxiety so you forget that God cares for you
• Inflicting suffering to make you question God's goodness
• Promoting isolation so you think you are alone in your suffering

Five Ways to Resist the devil

1. Practice humility
2. Give your worries to God and leave it with him
3. Stay alert and stand firm in the faith
4. Stay rooted among God's people
5. Embrace suffering
