Be ye angry, and sin not; let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Could ye not watch with me one hour?Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Sometimes suffering is what's best for us, if only because it keeps us from sinning or tempting others to sin.

since Satan is always breathing down our necks, and is ready and scheming to plunge us into a thousand perils, we ought to be no less watchful and on our guard.

The higher the stakes, the greater the temptation to lose your temper.

When our heart wants to live in purity & do the right thing, God will keep us from falling into sin.

Perhaps I might have resisted a great temptation, but the little ones would have pulled me down.

Selfcontrol is the skill of saying "no" to sinful desires, even when it hurts.

As a way to practice saying "no," consider small fasts. You could give up food, desserts, computer games, or other activities important to you. This is not a way to punish yourself for what you have done. It is simply a way to have more practice at self-control. Remember that self-control is a skill that develops with practice.

Believe me, for certain men at least, not taking what one doesn't desire is the hardest thing in the world.

Lay siege to your sins, and starve them out by keeping away the food and fuel which is their maintenance and life.
