“I did what I thought my duty. I did what I could but at a certain moment it is too much and you can’t manage any more. From that moment you have to leave it all to God’s care.
“By overcoming our difficulties, we make true progress. Our goal is not to avoid ever having temptations. Encountering temptation is an expected part of life. If Jesus could be tempted yet be without sin, we know that temptation itself is not sin. It is giving in to temptation that is sin.”

“Truly, the temptation is an opportunity to rely on God and His grace for carrying on. 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. 1 Corinthians 10:13”

“Children are not quite the same as we remember being. They are less likely to take their cues from adults, less afraid of getting into trouble. They also seem less innocent and naive—lacking, it seems, the wide-eyed wonder that leads a child to have excitement for the world, for exploring the wonders of nature or of human creativity.”

“To be tempted is to be confronted by your enemy—whether it’s the world, the flesh, or the devil—and if you try to fight in your own strength and power, you will be overcome. Jesus taught us the way to handle temptation: answer with Scripture, answer with prayer, and we will be delivered from evil by God’s hand, not our own.”

“For the first time in history young people are turning for instruction, modeling, and guidance not to mothers, fathers, teachers, and other responsible adults but to people whom nature never intended to place in a parenting role—their own peers. They are not manageable, teachable, or maturing because they no longer take their cues from adults.”
