I listened to a podcast today that talked about how to resist the devil. First and foremost was to remain steadfast in faith. 1Peter 1:6-7 was quoted, “In this you rejoice, although now for a little while you may have to suffer through various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold that is perishable even though tested by fire, may prove to be for praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” In other words, we will all suffer. The important thing is to remain steadfast in faith, offering your suffering to God, trusting that He is with you and will see you through to the other side. I found this to be comforting and somehow energizing at the same time.

I Found God today encouraged to remain steadfast in faith.
