Prayer from Luke 4:1-13

Heavenly Father, Your Son Jesus resisted temptation.  He didn't sin.  He conquered the devil.  He did what no single person on earth could ever do.  

The desires of hunger and the flesh.  He said, "No."

I would've said, "Yes."

The sin of worshiping idols for the sake of power.  He said, "No."

I would've said, "Yes."

The sin of not trusting fully in You and in who You say we are.  He said, "No."

I would've said, "Yes."

Yet, I'm invited into a deep and rich relationship with Your Son.  You sent Him for such a purpose.  The One who resisted temptaion.  The One who did not sin.  The One who conquered the devil.  My 'yes' to a relationship with Jesus becomes my 'no' to sin.  

Help me to choose You today.  

Amen
