Scripture teaches that believers will face various temptations, but God is faithful to provide a way of escape. In 1 Corinthians 10:13, Paul assures believers that they will not be tempted beyond what they can bear. Jesus Himself faced temptation, as seen in Luke 22:40, where He prayed for strength in the face of trial, and Mark 14:38, where He warned His disciples to watch and pray lest they enter into temptation. James 4:7 and Hebrews 2:18 offer guidance on resisting temptation, emphasizing the importance of submitting to God and drawing near to Him in times of struggle.

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.
Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.
When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”
