[Jesus said,] “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

—Matthew 26:41 (NIV)

“Father Antony said, ‘This is the great work of a person: always to take the blame for his or her own sins before God and to expect temptation until the last breath.’ He also said, ‘Whoever has not experienced temptation cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven.’ He even added, ‘Without temptation no one can be saved.’” —The Wisdom of the Desert Fathers and Mothers

Holy Spirit, I may be desensitized to temptation. Don’t let me sleepwalk through this day. Make me more vigilant in serving You.
