Diabolic Warfare

Faith Q&A › Metropolitan Youssef › Spiritual Life › Diabolic Warfare

The question

How do we hide from Satan our good plans, good deeds, and glorious moments with the Lord, so he doesn't steel them or attack us trying to take them from us?

The answer

Reveal what is in your heart, good and bad, plans and deeds, triumph and defeat, and all other aspects of your life only to Your spiritual father, so that God will protect your disclosure from the envy of Satan.
