Topic: Strength to Resist Daily Temptations
Introduction
Every believer faces temptations. They come in many forms thoughts, emotions habits and pressures that try to pull us away from God’s will. Temptation itself is not sin, but giving in to it leads us into trouble. God does not leave us helpless. He gives us strength, wisdom, and a way of escaping every single time. When we rely on His power instead of our own, we can stand firm and overcome. Victory over temptation is possible because God is faithful.
Main Passage
“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.” 1 Corinthians 10:13 NKJV

Temptation often comes when we least expect it. Prayer keeps our hearts strong and our minds focused.
