Hope When Temptation Is Louder

Written By Joseph Bridgers

Hope in the Holidays

Day 3

“The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful.”
— 1 Corinthians 10:13

The holidays can amplify temptation—through stress, celebration, isolation, or old routines. What once felt distant suddenly feels close again.

Temptation does not mean failure is inevitable. It means you are human. Jesus was tempted too—and He understands the pull without condemning the struggle. Hope lives in choosing one faithful step at a time.

A prayer for you.

God, when temptation feels louder than my resolve, remind me that You are faithful. Show me the way out, even if it’s just one step.

Put it in action.

Create or review a simple “holiday escape plan” for moments of temptation.

Share the moment.

Temptation is not the end of your story—faithfulness still has room to move.
