“So whoever thinks he stands must be careful not to fall. No temptation has come upon you except what is common to humanity. But God is faithful; he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but will with the temptation he will provide the way out so that you may be able to bear it.”
—1 Corinthians 10-12-13, CSB
I need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford (provide).
I need Thee every hour;
Stay Thou nearby by;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.
I need Thee every hour.
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life in vain.
I need Thee every hour,
Most holy One;
O make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son!
I need Thee, O I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee!
O bless me now my Savior
I come to Thee.
—Annie S Hawks (w 1872)
Don’t dare try to face temptation alone !!!
