"For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man..." 1 Corinthians 10:13 (+Promises for Your Everyday Life, pg. 3, by +Joyce Meyer)
When you are just about to give in; when you are tired, weak, at your lowest point; when it seems like there is no way out; remember, there is! His name is Jesus.
Whatever temptation you are struggling with is the same exact (yes, exact) temptation that Jesus was put through in the wilderness (by Satan, without food, for forty days,((Luke 4:1-13)), yet He didn't lose His faith or determination because He leaned on, relied on, His God-given foundation.
So, if you think that there is no one who has ever struggled with a temptation such as yours, then you might be forgetting about Jesus - He did. Therefore, call on Him, cry to Him, pray without ceasing, believe, and have strong-determined faith in Him - He will show, lead, carry you out, to the exit, to the finish line of the struggle(s) that seems unconquerable.
Praise sweet Jesus, because you don't have to worry about conquering this yourself - Jesus already has.
