No temptation is too great because God will provide a way of escape and all your brothers and sisters around the world have the same exact temptations.

Hebrews 4: 14-16
Jesus our high priest was tempted in all areas the same as we, though without sinning, and can sympathize with our weaknesses. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace to find mercy and grace to help us in time of need.

James 1:13,14

Ephesians 6
Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Stand therefore, having the girdle of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God, and above all, take the shield of faith. With this you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

James 4: 7
Submit yourself to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you.

You are full of joy even though it may be necessary for a season that you are weighed down with many trials and temptations, because the trying of your faith, being more precious than gold, which is an element in the earth that does not last forever, will bring you to praise and honor and glory when Jesus Christ appears.
