Satan is described in 1 Peter 5 as an enemy who “prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (v. 8). Note, he’s not actually a lion; he just roars like one to intimidate you. The Devil wants you to think he has control. He wants to make you feel helpless and hopeless. He wants you to give in to the temptation to believe that things will never change.
