“Pray in the Spirit AT ALL TIMES with ALL KINDS OF PRAYERS, asking for everything you need. To do this you must always be ready and never give up. And always pray for all God's people.”  Ephesians 6:18 (NCV)  

BY DEVELOPING 2 HABITS  

“Pray on every occasion, as the Spirit leads.”   Ephesians 6:18 (TEV)  

“Never stop praying! (Pray all the time!)”  1 Thessalonians 5:17 (GW)  

“And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.”   Matthew 6:13 

The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.    1 Corinthians 10:13
