Father God, you call me to perfection - sanctification - in You. You call me to something that is far beyond what I can achieve on my own. I know that You call me to something that I an not achieve - can not attain - on my own so that I will seek You out in the desperate moments of life - moments when I am face-to-face with temptation and there seems to be no way out.
Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 10:13 that no temptation will overtake me - only that which is common to man, and that You are faithful to me in these times - that You will not let me tempted beyond what I can bear - and that You will always provide a way so that I can stand up under the stress of these temptations that I am faced with.
Holy Spirit, fill me now. Do not allow temptation to have a grasp on me any longer. Fill me with the knowledge - like never before - that You are with me and that You have provided the strength I need to stand up under the temptations that I am faced with now - and the temptations that I will face throughout this day.
Jesus, let Your promises remain on my mind and in my heart. Lead me, once again into the perfect life that You have called me to live. When I am faced with temptation to sin, remind me that You expect me to obey You always.
Amen, let it be.
