Temptation

Pray anyway. When you're tempted, pray. "Never wait to pray," says Martin Luther. We're lucky, blessed, and privileged that we do not have to live in bondage to sin and temptation.

We are able to control what the mind thinks. The battlefield exists in our minds, and we have a choice to who and what we submit to. Christ "intercedes for you. He pleads for you, saying, 'Father, for this person I have suffered. I am looking after this person.'" And instantly we are blessed. We are victorious in the LORD. What a PROMISE, a beautiful promise! 1 John 2:1 says, "I am writing to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous."
