Answer:
" And if you do not do well, sin is lurking at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it.'' Genesis 4:7
Explanation:
Saying no to temptations can be hard and an extremely tedious task to some of our brethren. Temptation is a "strong urge or desire to have or do something and especially something that is bad, wrong, or unwise for enjoyment that threatens long-term goals. In the context of some religions, temptation is the inclination to sin." When you feel a strong urge to eat cake when on a diet, this is an example of temptation. The cake that makes you want to eat it is an example of a temptation. We are human beings and this is exactly why we face temptations but we must not give into it. We humans are capable of doing awesome things and our willpower is very strong. But when it it comes to temptations where is this strong will power of ours? Why is that some of us are defeated in this battle against temptation? If you don't have the will power or the desire to resist (like me), then keep reading. It is because of two reasons:
1) we do not recognize God's love for us
2) momentary pleasure, selfishness
but do not lose hearts ye people of the earth; children of God
God himself has given us the solutions to get rid of these unwanted habits that clings to us.
he knows that we are just mere mortals and temptations are sometimes a big deal for us but it's his way of teaching us to say no things at the time when you need to. It is not God who sends or gives us temptations, although he allows them....these are tests we need to pass in life and they do not come in a certain way but in many ways. But remember "God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers"
6 simple steps to understand and deal with temptation:
Reconcile with God
Find your triggers for the temptation. Are you losing momentum?
Talk to your temptation. Dig deeper.
Reframe your own beliefs and behavior.
Take action.
Let go of judgment.
P.S: I hope you have found your answer ant that it has cleared your doubts. Pardon me that the answer is lengthy. Feel free to gather the points that you need. "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; and he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way so that you can endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:13
