lead us not into temptation...........


Tuesday December 10 2012:


Matthew 6:13.  “And don’t let us yield to temptation but deliver us from the evil one.”

There is more temptation in the world today than ever before.  The media bombards us many times each day to tempt and seduce us to experiment with substances and actions that eventually harm us.   Television shows and movies encourage sinful living in the name of freedom.  Our computers are often tools used to corrupt innocent minds, satiate sexual abusers and promote pornography.   The tempter is everywhere, using every means available.  Jesus gives us this line in his prayer for us to pray.  Our plea needs to be for strength to overcome evil desires and to be delivered from anything evil that could impact our lives negatively.  Only through the power of the Holy Spirit can an addiction or weakness be overcome, healed and removed.

Prayer for today:  Heavenly Father, I know I’m not always what I should be and many times I succumb to the things of this world. Help me to be strong in my faith and give me strength to refuse anything that will harm me in any way.  I know you want what is best for me and so I pray that you will give me wisdom in staying strong and not be tempted by things that may harm.  In Jesus name, Amen.
