Preparation Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Escape Temptations

For when tempted, God provides
A way out, an escape
That we’re able, to endure
So let us learn, avoid mistakes.

But in place of God’s lordship
Satan swiftly deceived
Appealed to their senses
Denied truths, God revealed.

Stay far from temptations
Not seeking our pleasure
Instead, cleaving closer
To Christ, our true treasure.

Overwhelmed, on our own
We feel helpless, and lost
So set our mind, believe God’s Word
There is victory, through the cross.

Not to dwell, on sin and failure
Rather focus, on the LORD
See beyond, my upset feelings
Trusting God, see blessings poured.

Without a vision
The people will perish
Need a future and hope
God’s Word, to cherish.

Ask God change your view
Give thanksgiving each day
Let His Spirit control
Let Him teach you to pray.

Yes, held to God’s Word
His promises, and provision
Believed God would guide
Abraham’s hope and vision.

Keep God’s Word, in our heart
Cry out to God, and resist
Resolve, I will obey
The Holy Spirit, will assist.

So then friend, you can find
In your darkest, deep hour
God is ever, our hope
Can uphold us, by His power.
