The prayer series

Jesus,

Please lead me not into temptation.*

Temptation is sweet,
like falling in love with a person who I shouldn’t love.

Temptation is soft,
like entertaining all the time instead of learning English.

Temptation is hot,
like telling me how fool/ how ugly/ how spinsterish…

And many temptations I don’t know.

Please lead me not into temptation.
Help me to call temptation by his name.
All the days of my life.

Amen.

PTH

* Matthew 5:13
