Key #1 – Acknowledge Your Temptation Triggers

Temptation is inevitable. It will come. So, you shouldn’t be surprised by it but prepared for it. To overcome temptation, you must first understand what tempts you (James 1:14). It is vital that you take drastic steps to identify and remove anything and anyone that causes you to stumble on your journey (Matthew 5:27-29). For example, if you find yourself tempted when watching a specific tv show, listening to a particular music artist, or following certain accounts on social media, eliminate these temptations immediately. Don’t waste any time. Also, have a mature conversation with your partner, so you can both establish relationship boundaries that help ensure your interactions remain pure.  

Reflection: 

Do you know your temptation triggers? Take a piece of paper, and jot down the things that entice you to sin and give in to temptation. What boundaries can you establish to ensure you aren't triggered?
