2 Cor. 2:11 In Order That Satan Might Not Outwit Us. For We Are Not Unaware Of His Schemes.

Our awareness in pain tends to drop off. In pain, we must heighten our awareness so the pain does not grind us down. The satanic power causing our pain must be met with increased awareness. One of the therapeutic techniques of meditation is to heighten one's awareness of the pain so the pain can be managed and pushed around, lessening the pain's impact. When we pray, we must try to heighten our awareness of Christ in our presence. In heightening our awareness, we are to step back from the influences Satan is trying to put upon us. The more aware we become, the more power God grants us to counterattack Satan and his evil schemes against us.
