Prayer For Protection
May 18th, 2011
Luke 22:39-46
Temptation is a daily reality. Temptation is an invitation to go in the opposite direction of God’s plan for our lives. This comes from all sources and sometimes through natural desires. In Matthew 4, Jesus was tempted at every level. We cannot escape temptation.
The best way to avoid falling into temptation is constant prayer with a clear understanding of who God is and what he wants us to be. We constantly confuse needs with desires, pleasures with priorities, and materialistic values over spiritual, even religious traditions over personal relationship with God.
We should pray God will protect us from the power of temptation and give us strength to overcome. Do not take temptation lightly; pray for protection from temptation. Let us ask God to guide every step we make in our lives.
