LISTEN to what it says in Hebrews 4:15-16, “This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings [temptations] we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.”

In – For people you know who are struggling with temptation. Ask God to help them to break free from the devil’s trap
Out – For unchurched people you know to have their eyes opened to the danger they are in
ASK God to help you avoid situations where you know you struggle with temptation
