Lord Why So Many Temptations

I have so many temptations all around me. I must be careful, lest they ensnare me! I asked the Lord, “why does the enemy tempt me?” He answered; “then I’ll know how much you love me!” I thought for a moment, and was quite perplexed. I wasn’t sure exactly what to say next! I know the Lord has promised a way of escape. Narrow is his way and straight is the gate! I pray that his spirit will guide what I do and see! If not, all of this sin will eventually control me! I need to run into his loving and opened arms! Only he can keep me safe from all harm! I know that I could never do this alone! I need God’s protection over my life and home! There’s no hiding secrets, with his presence around! Whatever I may try to hide, it shall be found! I need YOU now!. I need you so very much! How I long for your strengthening touch! Thank you my Lord, for helping me along! Though I am weak... You remain strong! Whatever roadblock or temptation I may face… You’ll help me to overcome by your loving grace! You’re all I’ll ever need! And bless me each day! I appreciate you so much! More than words can say! By Jim Pemberton
