FIGHT TEMPTATION WHEN PEOPLE WRONG YOU

We must learn how to fight temptation when people hurt or wrong us; by not retaliating or talking about them, and yes, we know it is hard, but not with Christ. "Romans 12:19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." When we walk away and let God take control, we are blessed, and the enemy will be persecuted in God's will. If we believe what Jesus says, He will empower us to do the same.

Father, help us fight temptation when people wrong us by allowing Christ to fight for us. Lord, we know that we cannot do this on our own; we must rely on Christ's strength to accomplish this through our faith and His faithfulness. Father, when we are tempted to respond, give us Your courage and wisdom to walk away; so the enemy we will have to answer to You.  Lord, we ask You to fill us with the Holy Spirit and the knowledge of the Word when we are under attack, so we do not react under our own understanding but our faith in the Word. So, Lord, we ask You to remove the unforgiveness in our hearts for those who wronged us, so You will forgive us and fight our battles, a battle that only You can win. Lord, fill us with patience so we will not grow weary waiting for Your will to be done, in Jesus' name Amen.
