1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And god is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
God's protection is like a double door, I guard the first one; he guards the second. All temptations that come my way are common to man, and he will not let me be tempted beyond my capacity, but sometimes my spirit is willing but the body is weak. I open up the first door. However God is much stronger guarding the second door. He knows that I will fall, so he said when I am tempted, he will provide a way out, so I can stand up under it. God loves me and protects me. I love God, and I need him. I need him so much. I cannot guard the arrows that come against me from all directions, but even when I fail, God guards my heart with that second door, so I am safe in his protection.
2 Thessalonians 3:3
But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.
Psalm 119:11
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
--I want to be able to say that someday.
