The Temptation to Quit

And when He came to the place, He said to them, Pray that you may not [at all] enter into temptation. —Luke 22:40

Jesus told the disciples twice in one day to pray they wouldn't enter into temptation: And when He came to the place, He said to them, Pray that you may not [at all] enter into temptation. . . . And when He got up from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from grief, and He said to them, Why do you sleep? Get up and pray that you may not enter [at all] into temptation (Luke 22:40, 45–46).

The best way to resist the temptation to give up when times are hard is to pray that you won't give in to the temptation. It's wiser and more effective to pray and ask for God's help as you stand against temptation than to try to exert willpower alone. Work with God, and pray you won't surrender to the temptation to give up.

Power Thought: I believe God will strengthen me against the temptation to quit.

From the book the book Power Thoughts Devotional by Joyce Meyer.
