Temptation

 
No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he'll never let you be pushed past your limit; he'll always be there to help you come through it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 (The Message)

You are tempted in the same way that everyone else is tempted. But God can be trusted not to let you be tempted too much, and he will show you how to escape from your temptations. 1 Cor 10:13 (Contemporary English Version)

There isn’t any temptation that you have experienced which is unusual for humans. God, who faithfully keeps his promises, will not allow you to be tempted beyond your power to resist. But when you are tempted, he will also give you the ability to endure the temptation as your way of escape. 1 Cor 10:13 (God's Word Translation)

My prayer for you today is that you would remember you are not alone and that God will never give you more then He will help you come through.  When you feel as if you are pushed to the limit, or passed it, that you will see the way out that He provides.  That you will trust Him and live in His power.  That you will remember that nothing you face is beyond what He faced as He walked on this earth, and nothing is new.  That you would always remember that someone has been in your shoes before and that you would seek help from people who truly understand.  I pray that you would be quick to share what you have learned with others and be the pillar of strength they might need as they face their own temptations.  That you would have someone to help hold you accountable and that you would return that favor for others.  This is my prayer for you.
