Temptation
The enemy watches us, studies us, and tempts us to sin where we seem to be weakest. Try these 7 Steps to help not fall into temptation.
1. Take responsibility. You are responsible for how you respond to temptations.
2. Focus on the big picture and long-term consequences. Temptation offers a small picture, but God wants you to see the big consequences.
3. Identify areas of weakness in your life. Recognize which aspects of your life are easy targets to tempt you.
4. Avoid getting too hungry, angry, lonely, or tired.
5. Get an accountability partner. Find someone you trust and then contact that person when you are feeling tempted.
6. Read the Bible. You won’t be able to defend yourself against temptation if you don't have a firm biblical foundation.
7. Make prayer a habit in your life. Having regular conversations with the Lord each day strengthens and alerts you to temptation during the day.
