Weakness and failure
Temptation
Attraction toward something we know will harm us or pull us away from what we value.
What the Bible can tell you
No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
1 Corinthians 10:13
But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
James 1:14
Watch and pray, that you don't enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Matthew 26:41
A human reading
Feeling temptation is not a sin; giving in to it has consequences. The text reminds us that we are not alone in facing it. Staying away from the situations that tempt you is a simple way to take care of yourself.
