There are three things Satan can't withstand: God's Word, Christ's blood, and the name of Jesus. When you use those things you'll bring him down every time, just like David toppled Goliath.
When he went out to fight Goliath, David said, "Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts...for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give you into our hands” (1 Samuel 17:45, 47).
Nobody in King Saul's army seemed to have factored God into the equation, but David talked about nothing else. He saw what they didn't, and refused to be intimidated by what they did. He believed that the God he served was bigger than the giant he faced.
So if you are in a situation like David facing his Giant, instead of wasting time and energy dwelling on your own weaknesses and shortcomings, stand on God's Word and start talking about His power. You won't win if you fight in your own strength, so don't try it! David said, "This is the Lord's battle" (v. 47) And God has never lost a battle! So confront your giant in the name of the Lord and declare: "you won't conquer me! You are coming down!"
