When we pray The Our Father, we pray ‘Lead us not into temptation.’ In the Bible we read how Satan was allowed to tempt Jesus, and how He was able to resist each temptation. We are often not as strong as Jesus and end up committing sins in our weakness.
Sometimes having a simple affirmation on the tip of the tongue can assist us in remembering why we must resist temptation. It can be as simple as, “Jesus, I choose You.” A simple statement such as this to say over and over again can change our thoughts, and can change our desire to sin. It brings our mind back to Jesus, the Who and Why we choose not to sin. In just saying His name we can be assured He will summon His army of angels to protect us, to fight temptation with us.
Remember we have only two choices when faced with temptation: to sin, or Jesus. Jesus I choose You.
