In fighting temptation, regardless of its type, prayer is a weapon that we cannot do without it. The purpose of temptation is to ensnare us and to draw us away from God. Prayer, fellowship with God, is the exact opposite: it keeps the channels of communication with our Father open. Oh what comfort and love comes from the Father and what support to those who resist the enemy find when they go to Him in prayer.
The night the Lord Jesus was captured, in the garden of Gethsemane, he told to his disciples:
Matthew 26:41
“Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Luke 22:40
“And when he was at the place, he said to them, Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
And Luke 22:46
“And he said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation
