For this reason, he had to become like his brothers in every way, in order that he would be a merciful and faithful high priest in the things pertaining to God, so that he could pay for the sins of the people. Indeed, because he suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. (Hebrews 2:17-18 EHV)
Hymn ELH 253:4,6 Rise, My Soul, to Watch and Pray
Watch against yourself, my soul,
Lest with grace thou trifle;
Let not self thy thoughts control
Nor God’s mercy stifle.
Pride and sin Lurk within,
All thy hopes to scatter;
Heed not when they flatter.
Therefore let us watch and pray,
Knowing He will hear us
As we see from day to day
Dangers ever near us,
And the end Doth impend–
Our redemption neareth
When the Lord appeareth.
Prayer
Jesus, my Savior, thank You for overcoming the temptations of this world in my place. Help me to endure and to overcome all my temptations to sin. Amen.
