1 Corinthians 10:13


No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

Dear Mister God, thank you for giving us wisdom for being aware of the temptations around us. Mister God, is temptation like the cold that is constantly present and doesn't have a cure? Also, what is repression and suppression and why do people seem to get really sick when they consciously make temptations go away themselves? Mister God, if temptation is as common as the cold, please dispense your heavenly medicine to relief us from its symptoms and do not let us waste our minds trying to suppress or repress all these bad stuff. Afterall, it was you who removed my smoking habit overnight, no? Mister God, please let us be cool Christians who don't have to sweat the small stuff like temptations so that we can live fulfilling lives according to your plans. Amen. xx
