How can I resist temptation when it feels overpowering?

Memorize Scripture. Jesus fought temptation that way in the wilderness. It truly works.

Resisting temptation can feel overwhelming but with God’s strength it’s absolutely possible. Scripture reminds us that God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13). The key is not trying to fight temptation alone but invite God into the battle. Pray immediately when temptation arises and ask for His help and replace those tempting thoughts with his word.
