Daily Prayer for August 23rd, 2019
Good morning, God—thank You!! 🙂
I know that You are faithful; therefore, I submit myself to You. I pray that I never enter into temptation or succumb to evil, as my spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak. Holy Spirit, help me to keep steadfast under trial. I love You way too much! Let me not be deceived. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
1 Corinthians 10:13 English Standard Version (ESV)
13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation, he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
Matthew 26:41 English Standard Version (ESV)
41 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
James 1:12-16 English Standard Version (ESV)
12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. 15 Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is fully grown, brings forth death.
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
James 4:7 English Standard Version (ESV)
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
