Backsliding, repenting, backsliding, repenting ..

How ever many times we backslide into sin, we must never give up the attempt to live without sin. We are not like Jesus - we are not sinless. We are always subject to temptation. The best we can say is ..

From this day forth, I shall not fall into temptation.

And more importantly, we should fall upon our knees and beg the Lord to lead us not into temptation, but to deliver us from evil.

Pray every day, that God will protect you and guide your steps. And then make your own effort to live without sinning. Your own effort will not be good enough, but it is still required that you attempt it - and that to the best of you abilities.

Dear Lord please guide my steps,
Give me the strength to resist temptation,
I ask this in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

Amen

And my God bless you - N
