Just read some piece about "Dealing with temptation". Below is the summary of the study. There is no gainsaying the fact that we are being faced with temptation everyday of our lives. May somebody be blessed with it.
1. Avoid places, people, and things that tempt you.
2. Flee temptation.
3. When temptation hits, pray,
"Lord, show me Your way of escape!"
4. Quote Scripture against temptation.
5. Remember sin always has consequences.
6. Remember that temptation is a lie.
7. Recognize the danger of the second look.
8. Picture in your mind Christ suffering on the cross
for that specific sin which tempts you.
9. Confess and become accountable.

Logic Mind: What exactly is this "temptation" you speak of?
Temptation includes the lust of eyes, lust of flesh and pride of life; the overwhelming desire to do evil. A desire to go into a bar when you have already called it quit to drinking; a longing to break the vow of marriage by picking up a flirting habit; the desire to cheat or take what does not belong to us etc these are test of life that we need to surmonut everyday.

Does this happen only to humans created by god in his image or does it happen to animals as well?
