satan cannot steal kill and destroy your faith unless he first paralyzes your faith . how does satan try to paralyze our faith ? by first getting us distracted 2nd by causing us to feel overwhelmed by circumstances trials or storms and enticing temptations 3rd by attacking our thoughts feelings and emotions and by doing that he is setting one up for deception which then leads to strongholds being built and that leads one to a heavy spirit of fear worry shame and guilt so the person is so overwhelmed they begin to feel helpless and hopeless satan then tempts and entices the person to go astray into riotous living like the prodigal son by that point the individual has been broken down to believe the deception that it is too hard they can't quit can't change their faith has been stolen killed and destroyed to the extent that they feel like they are going to be stuck forever in sins devouring pits.

the humble heart that cries out in repentance will not be despised by God 
if you draw near to God He will draw near to you . if you are lost and have never known Christ and had a relationship with Him or if you have just lost your way becoming a prodigal Jesus seeks to save you that you may be reconciled to Him. He seeks to Redeem you and give you a new heart putting His Spirit in you . He wants you to trust in Him with all of your heart and lean not upon your own understanding and acknowledge Him in all of your ways He will direct your path as you hearken unto Him. Taste and see that the Lord is good blessed is he whose sins are forgiven .
