‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4:3-4‬

The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4:3-4‬ ‭

Dear Jesus,

I have fallen prey to the devil’s temptations many times when I was under stress. I’m already weak and vulnerable and then when you add exhaustion, hunger and thirst, I am no match for Satan.  I’m so happy you stepped in and replaced my failure with your victory. You were more hungry than I have ever been and yet you refused to take control without our Father’s approval. You won the fight I lost and them gave me the trophy. Thank you for taking the pressure for me. I love you and will defend your name
as long as I live.

Amen

Jesus did what we had not so we could live where we have not.
