Strength is defined as the capacity to withstand force or pressure. When your strength is tested know that you are not alone and you cannot be victorious of your own volition.

We always need help—help from each other and help from God. The enemy is real. Spiritual attacks from evil forces are always at work to tear us down and separate us from God’s presence, power, and purpose.

1 Peter 5:8-10 reminds us of this, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. "

Be On Guard: Look for the trappings of the devil. Many of them are in plain sight. Don't give in to the temptation to follow his lead. Read the word of God so that you are armed to defend yourself and prepared to overcome evil advances and intents.

Pay Close Attention: Listen as the spirit of God as alerts you of danger and provides instruction concerning what you should (and shouldn’t) do and where you should (and shouldn’t) go. Choose to walk in obedience to God instead of submitting to sinful desires.

Be Encouraged: Regardless of where you find yourself at this very moment God’s grace is enough to carry you through.

Pray For One Another: All of us are subject to walking contray to God's will at any time. Pray for yourself and for others.

You are well able to withstand the world's forces and presures when you seek God's strength and walk in His ways.
