2. Determine to resist the enemy James 4:7

- Submit in advance of temptation
- 1 Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”

3. Draw near to God
- Pray
- Meditate on the Scriptures

Hebrews 12:11
When we are disciplined by the Father as children and we apply the self-discipline of acting in righteousness we get peace!
