Jesus said, "Watch, be alert and pray."
And with no condemnation,
here's one of the challenges I find in The Lord's Prayer or in The Disciple's Prayer,
it says, "Lead us not into temptation."
I know very few people in the morning who actually pray that.
"Lord, lead me not into temptation." You all know where you're vulnerable.
You all know the ways - or maybe you don't all know,
but some of you know, or at least you have an idea of the ways Satan tries to take you out.
Have you thought about praying in the morning, "Lord, lead me not into temptation."
"I'm going to be tempted." And here's one of the problems, sometimes we actually don't want to pray that
because we actually want to indulge in the temptation.
So I don't actually want to pray, "Lead me far from temptation."
'Cause I've already made my mind to go down that road.
But even if you're there, remember the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak - it's the flesh.
But you're a good man, you're a Christian, you've identified with Jesus publicly.
You can pray, you can even ask him to change your heart.
"Lord, lead me not into temptation."
The way I do that is, "Lord, put a big red flag in my forehead when I'm thinking about that temptation."
Or, "This is what I'm going to be tempted to do, show me a way out."
That battle is best fought in the morning when the temptation is not there.
If you read the newspaper - that used to be a big piece of paper that we got delivered to our homes.
In there, they used to have the funny papers, the Cathy Cartoon,
and one of my favourite Cathy cartoons was
she had a binging on candy,
and so she's driving down the road and she says,
"I'm going to drive by the grocery store but not go in."
Next scene,
"I'm going to go into the grocery store but not go down the candy aisle."
Next scene, "I'm going to go down the candy aisle but not going to look at the candy."
Next scene, "I'm going to look at the candy but not going to touch,"
Next scene, "I'm going to touch but not smell."
"I'm going to smell but not taste."
"I'm going to taste but not eat." And then the last one just pigging all out.
She lost the temptation at the beginning.
By the time she was in there - if you wait,
if you think you're going to battle it when the temptation comes it's too late.
We've got to battle that in advance.
"Lead me not into temptation."
I don't have a mathematical formula but my guess is
we could probably knock out one third of the temptation in our lives if we just prayed that prayer.
