Jesus has taught us to pray in the Lord´s prayer, "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." (Mt. 6:13) Imagine how helpful it would be to pray this every morning and every time we feel tempted. Notice also that if we are going to pray it then we need to act on it. It sounds strange but sometimes we put ourselves in a place where we are going to be tempted. It is like the person who is freed from an addiction to alcohol and then has a drink to see if he is really free. Why bother asking God not to allow (I say allow because God does not tempt but allows (James 1:13 )) us to be led into temptation and then not bother to take the way out?
