Submit to God and overcome temptation
When temptation is strong, the advice the Bible gives us is to flee.
Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
- 2 Timothy 2:22
Acknowledging your weakness and removing yourself from a dangerous situation is not something to be ashamed of; it is a sign of wisdom. This is especially important when facing sexual temptation or other challenges that may seem too strong to resist. Avoid situations where you know you will be tempted. Submit to God, and you will see how He helps you overcome your struggle against sin.
To overcome, you must keep your spirit strong in the Lord. Though our flesh may be weak, if we keep our spirit firm and filled with God’s presence, we can face temptation because we are not alone: the strength that comes from God will work in us.
Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
- Matthew 26:41
There is a reward for those who persevere and remain steadfast in the midst of temptation. Submit to God and conquer in His name for His glory.
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
- James 1:12

Yesterday's Word
Have you ever stopped to think about God’s blessings in your life?
Count your blessings. It’s easy to make a list of complaints: the money is not enough, the vacation never comes, the house is messy, the traffic is unbearable, someone treated me badly…
But not everything in this life is bad. God has given you many blessings too: Jesus loves you, God takes care of you, there are special people by your side, and if you have already accepted Jesus in your heart, you are saved and will go to heaven! What a wonderful blessing!
Moreover, God can even turn bad things into blessings! Have you ever thought about how many difficult situations you have already faced and how the Lord has clothed you with strength and maturity? Remember:
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
- Romans 8:28
Everything works for your good if you love the Lord! Many adversities you have gone through may have served to shape your character and bring you closer to Jesus. These experiences, even though painful, can also help you encourage other people who are facing the same struggles you once faced.
For all these reasons, be grateful! It is good to make a list and remember the good things.
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
- 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Lord, may my faith prevail
However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?
- Luke 18:8b
Jesus asked this question while giving an example of the importance of constant prayer. In a world so full of bad news and challenging circumstances, we must remember that our God still hears our prayers and is at work. Let us not waver in our faith! Let us always go to God with our petitions, confident in His power to work, transforming lives, families, and nations.
God is moving right now. Open your heart to the Lord and pray for a revival in your own being.
Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
- Psalm 51:10–12
Pray to God that He may help you persevere amid the difficulties that life presents to you, and to feel His Holy Spirit in a special way.
Not only so, but wealso glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
- Romans 5:3–5
Keep your faith alive, persevere in prayer, and you will see great things.
So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For,“In just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay.”And, “But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back.”
But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.
- Hebrews 10:35–39
