Spirit of truth, who goes with us along the way, bring to mind the word of the Lord when it is warranted, that in temptation and struggle and need, we would hear your truth in our hearts and find wisdom and comfort to live as you would call us, through Jesus our savior, who abides always with you and the Father in unity and joy above. Amen.
‘Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’” Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”‘ – Matthew 4:5-7
