In 2 Corinthians 10 v 4, we read,'The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary , they have divine power to demolish strongholds.' As Christians we are in a warfare against ,the world ,the flesh , and the devil,it is important to remember that.The good thing is we have a powerful helper,God,His word,and prayer, we have not been left to cope on our own,we have been given everything we need for a godly life (2 Peter 1 v 3),Christ has not left us orphans,we have the wonderful Holy Spirit within us,He can help us to overcome all those things arrayed against us.The devil is ever active,24/7 yes he does not have a day off so we must be on our guard.The devil is our enemy remember that,and so it is important that we know our enemy,in 2 Cor 2 v11 we read in regard to Satan,'we are not ignorant of his schemes'.He came to tempt Jesus when he starving Matthew 4 v 2, so he tempted Him on that ,Jesus reminded him that we need more than bread,we need Gods word.He tempted Eve as regards what God said Gen 3 v 3-4,so many people who are Christians are believing his lies\,remember the Devil is a liar.indeed the father of lies,( John 8 v44.).We need not be overcome by this tempter, we are told that we can resist the Devil (James 4 v 7),but to do that effectively we must submit ourselves to God ,that means depend on Him,be obedient to Him,in other words ask the Saviour to help you,He is willing to aid you,He will carry you through.
