         Call the bluff of Satan by leaning wholly on Me in asking for prayer. This battle is fluid, and the Enemy is seeking to drown you in the deep waters as they toss and rage about you. The Enemy is rolling in the waves as he rides from crest to crest, going from tactic to tactic trying to bring you down. He is not letting up, but he skips back and forth in order to weaken you and snuff you out and drown you in his sea of lies. His tactics change like the rolling of the waves. They go up and down, back and forth. Although the attacks vary in degree, they are constant, as he seeks to drown you in a sea of confusion and turmoil.
         The waves are rolling and you are as a buoy bobbing up and down on the troubled sea. At times there are intervals when the waves are calm and the buoy peacefully floats atop the water. Then the waves stir and roll about with more force. They pick up and become higher, louder, more intense, so that the buoy bobs up and down with greater fury as it fights to keep itself above water. The force of the waves tosses you about, and the Enemy tries to use this to cast doubt. You must not look at the waves, but resist this attack through calling for prayer.
         Call his bluff by calling for prayer that your buoy may be firmly anchored to the ocean floor so that it cannot float away. The waves may crash and thunder and roll right over you, yet you will survive the storm, the high winds and the crashing of the waves as long as you are firmly attached with My strong weight--the anchor of My protection--to hold you down. You have nothing to fear, for I will affix you firmly to the ocean floor with the strong anchor of My love and protection.
         Secure your anchor firmly through uniting in prayer. When the Enemy sees that you are calling his bluff, that you are securing your anchor firmly through prayer, he will give up and flee. For he knows the strong chain and heavy weight of My anchor will hold tight against all his empty winds and rolling waves. Therefore simply call the bluff of the Evil One who sends the waves rolling in. Remind him of My promises--that you cannot and will not blow away, for your anchor holds. You are securing it through desperate prayer.
