Temptation can hit out of the blue. Had a situation tonight where I felt like a huge wave of temptation. Decided instead of giving in I would ask for help and so sent a text message to a friend that said, "Feeling tempted, please pray."
As soon as the text message had gone I felt the urgency of the burden leave. Then within minutes my friend rang and prayed with me over the phone.
I now understand a bit more of the truth of sharing our burdens with one another.
At the moment of temptation we have a choice to make, to give in or to reach out. I encourage you to both reach out to a friend and reach up to God, this two way reach is a temptation killer.
