Just say no.
My kid uses tone and everything in me wants to let him have it.
Just say no.
My husband still hasn't taken care of a job I asked him to do months ago and I want to "remind" him yet again.
Just say no.
I'd rather veg on the couch than write a blog post.
Just say no.
Though I really should go to bed, I want to enjoy the quiet and play on my computer.
Just say no.
My eyes wander and I find myself deficient.
Just say no.
Temptations swirl about. The world tells us "You deserve a break today" and "You're worth it" and "Just Do It."
But when temptations hit we can't "Just Do It."
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:7
We have to resist.
Just say no.
Three little words. Incomparable training for our will. Using them causes the devil to flee and fills our spiritual reserves, giving us strength to make the next temptation easier to fight.
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
2 Peter 1:3-4
We can do it. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.
Just say no.
