If the devil tried to destroy Jesus’ faith, then he will try to destroy yours as well. And the way he will try to do this is through his scheme of temptation.

God knows what you need. He doesn’t want you to worry, but simply ask Him to provide what you need for today, “Give us today our daily bread.” God is our provider. It is a misconception to think that we provide for our needs ourselves. If you have all your basic needs met today, then God has been very good to you. God has blessed you. He is the one who gave you the opportunity to get a good education, to do well in your career, to put food on the table and to provide a decent nest egg for retirement. Let’s not forget that “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of heavenly lights.” James 1:17. If anything, if you have all you need, then you should be thankful.

If Jesus breaks the power of death…the good news is this: you no longer have to fear death; for once you belong to Jesus, once you’ve trusted in Him as Your Savior, death has been defeated. You will never taste death. For now death is just a pathway into the presence of Jesus. This is the certain hope of every Christian.

Our forgiveness of others is what makes us most like Jesus. That’s why Jesus wants us to pray this way. He wants us to treat others the same way He has treated us. Think of it this way:The price God paid to forgive you is the same price He paid to forgive the person who wronged you.

The devil wants you doubt God, Jesus and your salvation. The devil doesn’t want to know the certainty of your salvation. He wants to rob you of your hope of salvation. He wants to convince you that you do not belong to Jesus and you are not really forgiven. And he wants you to think that you have to keep earning God’s approval. He wants you to live as if your salvation is up to you. He doesn’t want you to rest in God’s grace. He wants you to live in fear of judgment. He is the thief who comes to steal, kill and destroy…. But when you put on the helmet of salvation that comes from God, you will stand firm and secure in God.
