Temptation

Dear Lord may this be a good day and may the Holy Spirit guide us and protect us from the temptations that are strong and overpowering. Even tho we want to do the right things in our lives it is easy to be distracted by desires that are camouflaged as being enjoyable and innocent. If we have been hurt it is easy to justify giving in to temptation and desires that we know is not the will of God. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV
1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Jas 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Jas 1:3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
Jas 1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Jas 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
