In the last great conflict of the controversy with Satan those who are loyal to God will see every earthly support cut off.... – at Kelso, WA
the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.” Habakkuk 3:17, 18. Desire of Ages 121.3 – at Kelso, WA
When under attack by Satan or misguided people, remember that Jesus understands and cares for us.
Whenever one is encompassed with clouds, perplexed by circumstances, or afflicted by poverty or distress, Satan is at hand to tempt and annoy. ... – at Longview, WA

The best response to temptation is quoting (or singing) God's commands and promises aloud.
Jesus to Satan's temptations...
It is written...
1. Live by every word of God
2. Don't twist God's Word
3. Worship God alone
“But He answered and said, ... – at Walla Walla, WA
“It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”
Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ”

‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ””
