Lead us not into temptation, but he is everywhere.
Just waiting, waiting for you to make a mistake.
For you to sacrifice your needs for your wants.
For you to fall and lose concentration.
Temptation is sly isn’t he?
Like a fox in the bushes, he’s been stalking your moves.
He is that voice you hear when making decisions.
He is that shame or guilt you feel afterwards.
Why ? because you have let him in
Only when he is within you, he can win.
Make Temptation a temporary thought.
A split second is a short battle fought.
Life will up the tempo and you will fight temptation.
