**"Steadfast in Your Strength"**
*A Poem to God with Scripture to Overcome Temptation*
My Lord Elohim,
**O Lord, my heart is weak, I know,**
Yet in Your grace, I stand—I grow.
When temptations whisper, sly and low,
Your Word becomes my shield and bow.
*"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."*
**—1 Corinthians 10:13**
---
**The flesh is frail, the spirit fights,**
But You, O God, are my delight.
When worldly lures would steal my sight,
I fix my eyes on Heaven’s light.
*"Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart."*
**—2 Timothy 2:22**
---
**When pride would rise or lust would call,**
When greed or anger seek my fall,
I kneel before You, Lord of all—
Your mercy breaks temptation’s thrall.
*"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet He did not sin."*
**—Hebrews 4:15**
---
**So lead me, Jesus, day by day,**
Your Spirit guides, Your truth will stay.
Though trials come, I’ll walk Your way—
For in my weakness, You are strong!
*"My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness."*
**—2 Corinthians 12:9**
---
**Lord, when I stumble, lift me high,**
Renew my heart, restore my cry.
Not by my might, but Yours alone—
You conquer sin; You claim Your own!
*"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."*
**—Philippians 4:13**
---
**Amen.**
God's Mercy endures forever,
Dr. Lion.
