When you start to enter into womanhood, you'll be tempted to do things the world says are ok.
- Some temptations:
- Sex before marriage
- Other kinds of sexual sin
- Drugs and alcohol
- Temptations will come from anywhere and everywhere like:
- school
- t.v. and movies
- social media
- friends and maybe family
The world says things that tempt us are okay. The world tells us to give in to temptation as long as we do it moderately.The world says that anything that makes us feel good is ok if it doesn't harm anyone else. Temptation will sneak up on you when you least expect it. How strong your relationship with God will determine how you handle temptation. You will miss "the way out" of temptation if you are not focused on your relationship with God. Avoiding temptation is never easy here are some ways you can help resist it.
- Spend time in God's word every day.
- Spend time in prayer every day, asking God to help you resist temptation and to help you seek his will in all that you do.
- Surround yourself with friends who love and follow God, and who make good choices.
- Ask and adult you trust to hold you accountable for the things that can trip you up.
As you learn what temptations are hardest for you to resist, do everything you can to avoid the situations where temptation will be the strongest.
