Pray not to be tempted

And now he can help those who are tempted, because he himself was tempted and suffered.
Hebrews 2:18 GNBDK

Very early the next morning, long before daylight, Jesus got up and left the house. He went out of the town to a lonely place, where he prayed.
Mark 1:35 GNBDK

Reflection:
Temptations are real, but temptations are not sin. When we give in, we commit sin. Jesus too was tempted many a times, but he overcame it all. And the strength to do so came from his relationship with his Father with whom he spent time as He prayed. We all go through our daily struggles of temptations, how do are we dealing with it? The way Jesus did or on our own accord?

Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to be in a constant relationship with him as you take time out regularly like Jesus to be in prayer. And may his Holy Spirit always guide and guard your heart to resist every kind of temptation. Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones :)
