Temptation is necessary to make us realize that we are nothing in ourselves-- SAINT JOSEMARIA ESCRIVA.
Temptations are many kinds, some are too strong so that we will fall into it, some are weak so that we may resist it, some are complicated so that it will confuse us.
No matter how strong we are in prayers if we are not alert we may easily fall into temptation, if we are alert then the devil may try to tempt in the same area again and again till we fall into it and only few will be able to resist the temptation with the help of power of God.
Temptations are coming our way to break our overconfidence in prayer, overconfidence in self and to make us realize we are nothing without God.
Temptations are going to come to us regarding different weakness we may have, for Some lust, for some anger, for some pride, for some hatred, for some jealousy, for some superiority complex, for some violence, for some irritation, for some failures, for some frustration, for some disappointment and so on.
When these are coming our way if we are not well equipped with the Word of God then surely we are going to fall into one or more Temptations. Only few of them rise up early and most of them stay there for years.
When we do not understand that without God we are nothing we may walk in the wrong direction even after going to church regularly. Whatever God has allowed in our life nobody can escape from it but have to go through it joyfully trusting in God and His Word.
