Satan will attack you at your weakest points. He will try to convince you of something in your life that God has had no victory over or you have been powerless to give to Him. It’s something that you’ve been holding, then you stop praying and asking God to deliver you and you come to believe what Satan has been feeding you.
You see the devil knows that if you, a child of Gods, is living in fear, you cannot be living by faith. One cancels out the other. Those two principles cannot coexist. Satan knows that if you live in fear, your defeat is an inevitable certainty.

But remember: Satan is a liar. Jesus said, “He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (Jn 8:44).
This is how to respond to the whisperings of Satan as he tries to destroy your fragile faith. (Silence) – “There are times when silence is the most powerful testimony of God’s people. Silence may be the best response to insult. (In your humility) you must recognize that Satan is picking on specks of truth about you. In fact, when he speaks about your weaknesses, he speaks the truth. However, when he speaks about God and His strength, and your position in Christ, he always lies. The Bible says, “…greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (I John 4: 4b). Don’t argue with the devil about your weaknesses. He wouldn’t have power over you if there wasn’t some truth in his accusation. But the fact is, if you face trials and temptations relying on the Lord and His strength, your weaknesses have nothing to do with the outcome.
Be humble about your weaknesses. Don’t deny them or mourn them. Just admit them. “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he will lift you up in due time” (1 Peter 5:6).
Satan’s purpose in your trials is to get you to focus on you. God’s purpose in your trials is to get you to focus on Him. This is what you are to do when faced with personal attacks of Satan. This is what you are to do when the enemy infiltrates your families and relationships and sets about to divide you with his lies. Spread out the matter before God.

Present it to the Lord acknowledging that he is Supreme, that he is Almighty, that he is more than able to handle all that you present to him in prayer. If you ask anything according to his will, he hears you. And if you know that he hears you – whatever you ask – you know that you have what you asked of him” (1 Jn 5:14-15).
