When in Iowa for my dad's burial, I borrowed my aunt June's Bible to look up Genesis 3 - I don't actually remember why I was looking up that passage. She has a Life Application Study Bible. Near that passage the study notes read:
Satan's Plan
Doubt: Makes you question God's word and His goodness.
Discouragement: Makes you look at your problems rather than at God.
Diversion: Makes the wrong things seem attractive so that you will want them more than the right things.
Defeat: Makes you feel like a failure so that you don't even try.
Delay: Makes you put off doing something so that it never gets done.
Wow. I can really see how satan has used these tactics in my life. It's so clear. Doesn't it just make you wanna fight back and tell him he's NOT going to deceive you any more?!
