What mean things does Satan do to people?

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour".
I Peter 5 : 8

Satan does not get to do whatever he wants to do to people. The main thing he does is get us to hurt ourselves. Lots of people think that Satan only tempts people to do bad stuff. He does tempt us, but the worst thing he does is lie to us.

Satan hates God & does not want you to believe what God says. He wants you to sin. He wants you to believe what is false. He wants you to believe that you are no good. Satan lies to you about your worth and about what really matters, so you'll hurt yourself. But God loves you and wants you to be your best. God is the one to listen to.

ACTIVITY
With a parent or a grandparent, take a look at the front section of a daily newspaper or a magazine. Find a story about someone who listened to Satan's lies and tried to hurt himself or someone else. Pray for that person. Ask God to help you keep listening to Him.
