Devotional Reflection
Satan is not a game or a make-believe thing. He is real, and his power is meant to hurt. But instead of worrying about him, let's resist him when he tempts us and put our attention on Jesus. He is the one who won the big battle with Satan at Calvary. He took Satan's most powerful weapon and made it useless. Now we can fight back, and Satan will run away.
Prayer
We are grateful to the All-Powerful God for sending Jesus to free us from the grip of the devil. You have reassured me that my death will not mark the end of my relationship with You but rather the beginning of life with You through the death of the Savior. But today, I specifically ask for Your support as I work to fend off Satan's hold on my life in the following ways. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

Prayer
Thank you, All-Powerful God, for sending Jesus to free us from Satan's grip. Through the death of the Savior, you've shown me that my own death won't be the end of our relationship, but rather the start of a new life with you. Today, though, I want you to help me fight against Satan's power in my life in the ways below. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
