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.
