In the Lord's Prayer, we ask not to be led into temptation. If we do face temptation, what shall we do? I see temptation as a ploy of the Devil to lure us away from the Lord. A deceiver always uses some kind of bait to distract you first. Temptation by definition is something that's attractive; therefore, if you fight it head-on, you lose. Remember how we learn to drive on an icy road? When the car skids to one side, the right thing to do is to steer the car in the same direction, just opposite to how you normally would react. The same applies here. When you sense temptation, run away from it as if you're really scared, and you run toward the Lord who can deliver you from all evil.
