what helps overcome temptation…

discipleship journal did a little survey on temptation and in this survey, the people who responded said what helped them overcome the temptation.   

  1. 84% said prayer, talking to GOD about the temptation.  JESUS said “talk to me about your temptations.  pray that you won’t be led into temptation.”  have you done that recently?  talked to GOD about the temptations in your life?  prayer was the number one answer to what helped to overcome that temptation.
  2. avoiding compromising situations.  you don’t want to get into a compromising situation and then try to pray.  the percentage goes way down when you try that strategy.
  3. 66% said bible study helped them the most. 
  4. 52% said being accountable to somebody else. 
those are just some advice from other believers who face temptation like you and i and it helps us to see how GOD can help us overcome.  resist the temptation.
