The closer we get to being Christ-like the harder Satan works on us. He does not want us to be Christ-like; Satan loves only himself, so he wants us to be Satan-like. The ONLY way we can beat him is through prayer and meditation. Pray for God's guidance and for the Holy Spirit to be with you. Meditate as much as you can so you can hear God's voice and be used by him. Read The Bible and learn scripture, so when Satan comes knocking, you can use God's word to throw him off your back. Pray that God will keep him off your back, out of your head, and away from you. When you get overwhelmed and feel like you could scream, remember, this is Satan working overtime. Satan has picked you to pick on. He has gotten inside you and is really working hard. PRAY! Pray, like you have never prayed before, that God will get Satan out of you. Go to a place where it is quiet and where you will not be interrupted or disturbed. Talk to God! Tell him how you are feeling! Ask him for help!
Philippians 4:6-7 says, "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hears and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." It will help "settle" you down and bring God's peace to your heart, instead of Satan's anxiety. Satan uses anxiety and worry to take over our mind, our body, our will. We need the Holy Spirit to bring peace and the only way to do that is to pray. God loves us and wants peace for us, but we have to pray.
Sometimes in order to have peace, God places on our heart something or things we must do before we can have peace. If he does this, pray diligently about how to handle the situation. Don't just go out and act. Pray that God will show you the way to handle what he puts on your heart. Sometimes, however, Satan will put things on your heart. Satan knows God and God's ways. He was God's angel, and he will conceal himself and try to act like God. We must pray God will give us the discernment to know the difference between God's voice and Satan's voice. When we make time to spend quality, quite time with God, we get to know God's voice. So we must listen and learn to know God's voice, so we can do God's will, not Satan's.
