Temptation

Dear Lord please be with us this day, lead us not into temptation, and may we hear the Holy Spirit's urging to do the unselfish thing, or to not do the selfish thing. Please help us to learn to fill the void left by abstaining from the selfish things with things of wonder that You can show us. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Quotation:
It is the oldest temptation in the world, and the most fruitful parent of sins, and the most dangerous temptation- in that it contains so much truth- to regard self rather than God as the center in which spiritual effort must originate. --R.H. Benson

KJV
2Pe 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
2Pe 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
