While I was struggling with depression Satan often tried to get me to skip reading my Bible. He would put such thoughts into my mind as “I'm so tired I should just skip reading my Bible and sleep" or “Why bother to read your Bible God doesn't care about you anyway” as I reached for my Bible. But because I had already established a strong habit of spending time in the Bible from years of daily Bible reading I was able to push those thoughts out of my head, pick up my Bible, and read.
One morning a few months He healed me from depression while I was milking goats God showed me that Satan's goal when attacking a Christian is to get him or her to give up on God. God also revealed to me that had I given up on reading my Bible I would have also given up on God.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to establish a habit of daily Bible reading because when the storm comes if we give up on reading God's word Satan has already won half the battle.
