No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.
(1 Corinthians 10:13)
Everybody is tempted to sin! The key to battling temptations is to understand that God will always provide you with an escape. He is right there with you while you are being tempted. Next time you are tempted, don’t give in to sin, trust God’s provision for an escape and look for it. ~ Jeff M Newman

God the Father Is Compassionate
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. (2 Corinthians 1:3-4)
