Matthew 4:10
Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"

In Matthew, chapter 4, we are told of the temptation of Jesus. It is here we find how to resist our own temptations. How easy it is to say, "Away from me, Satan!" Yet...perhaps it's not so easy. It's the wanting to say it that is difficult.
How do you resist temptation? Do you just say no? Do you have to call on the Lord to help you? Is it a conscious decision, or do you realize that it's a temptation from Satan at all? Is something as small as a chocolate craving a temptation?
