Satan's Destructive Influence

I have never experienced Satan's influence as strongly as I have throughout this struggle. He is tricky, deceitful, and destructive. If I miss my morning or night prayers, or reading the scriptures, he sneaks into my life. Little by little he creeps in his lies and tricks to tear me down. I know he wants nothing more than to destroy me, destroy our marriage, and stop us from starting an eternal family. All things related to procreation are a prime target to thwart the plan of God. I know that Satan will try harder than ever to tear you down in this struggle. He will try to make you feel not worthy, that you have no purpose, and feel discouraged. Discouragement is Satan's weapon of mass destruction. It is all lies! Your worth is so great. There are great things in store for you. Heavenly Father trusts you to endure this. Do not let Satan into your life. It is not a way to survive this. It is hard to fight this battle, and fight Satan. But I know that if you stay close to the Lord, He will make a way. He will make it feel possible. He will provide the hope, comfort, and peace that your heart needs. He will provide the ability to see a bright future. A way to feel happy NOW. A way to feel like you CAN do this. I know it is hard. And that it aches on so many levels. But turn to the Lord and keep Him in your life to allow the spirit as a shield against Satan. 

I love this saying by Elder Uchtdorf. I remind myself of it daily. It is very powerful.

"I am doing a great work, and cannot come down".

Don't let Satan tear you down!
