Overcoming temptation
Updated: Feb 22, 2021
Rely on God’s limitless strength and not our limited strength.
God always gives us a way out, and doesn’t tempt us beyond what we can handle. Read in scripture how Jesus, himself handled temptation. Ask for His help, cry out to Our Father, use scripture as your armor. Ask for help from your guardian angel and the saints. Know your
repeated sin, and guard yourself from those things that put you in a vulnerable place. Mindfully reflect on what Jesus did for our sin often, to allow your respect to grow for him and your soul to change by Him. Match his wounds to the frequent sins you commit. Remember He is your Father, your Savior, your friend so never go to sleep at night without telling Him you are sorry. Frequent the sacraments of Confession, the Eucharist and go to Adoration, they give us GRACE! Grace to become more like Jesus!
“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will
also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”
“Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.” Psalm 119:11.
