Satan Stuff

I think that one of the most effective ways in which Satan works is by feeding us lies about who we are. We begin to rip ourselves apart, doubting every aspect of identity until we are thoroughly convinced that we are not able to do the task God has laid out in front of us. He's tricky, that Satan.

A few examples:

You aren't smart enough.
You aren't pretty enough.
You are a failure.
You never get anything right.
You're embarassing.
People are only nice to you because they feel bad for you.
Everyone can see right through you.
You don't have enough money.
You really aren't good at this.

Sometimes (more often than I would like to admit) I believe the lies. I succomb to all of my painful insecurities and I fall flat on my face. Sometimes I just give up and walk away, convinced that I cannot be the right person for the job.

Sometimes I fight back and my head bobs high enough out of the surging waters to catch a breath. I gain a bit of perspective.

What do you do when you are attacked by your insecurities? How do you fight against the things Satan throws at you?
