Temptation Never Reads the Fine Print
September 13, 2026 Speaker: Aram Mushegan Series: Pray Through
Passage: Psalm 119:33–40, James 1:13–15, Psalm 51:10
So how do you overcome temptation before desire becomes action?
In this message from Praying Through, Pastor Aram Mushegan looks at Psalm 119:33–40, James 1:13–15, and the story of David and Bathsheba to show how temptation works and how we can bring the battle to God in prayer. Psalm 119 gives us a prayer for the moments when we feel ourselves being pulled in the wrong direction:
• Turn my direction
• Turn my desires
• Turn my attention
Overcoming temptation is about more than behavior modification. The goal is heart transformation. We don't just need the strength to say no to the wrong thing. We need God to change what we want and teach us to turn toward something better. Temptation promises something desirable without showing us the consequences. But we don't have to fight temptation on our own
