Temptation

Temptation is often the combination of a real human need combined with a possible doubt --- which creates an inappropriate desire in me. So to better stand up to my temptations, I can't just try to suppress my inappropriate desires. I must also look at what my real needs are and what God's plan for providing them is. I can focus on why it is that I have any doubts about anything as a Christian, and begin to repent of that sin of unbelief. Focusing on God's provision for my needs, and shoring up my doubts will eliminate my inappropriate desires --- thereby defeating my temptations.
