Life is so tempting

   So much of God waits in every moment

      But I have been told temptation is bad

Is that really true

   It all depends on the temptation

      Whether it brings us close to God or not

To be filled with the Spirit is tempting

   But some said “You will only do for yourself”

      How can that happen if you are filled with the spirit

To be loved by God is to love others

   It is to be of service in endless ways

      To some prayer is their Godly service

      To others action is their Godly service

But some may say prayer is a waste of time

   Isn’t that an attempt to avoid real work

      The kind which changes lives

I think it is a temptation to think that way

   It misses the power found in prayer

      To change lives through spiritual work

To the ones who pray action can be a temptation

   To the ones who act prayer can be a temptation

      It all depends on what leads us to God

Life is so tempting

   So much of God in every moment

      If we don’t succumb to what we haven’t been called to be
