No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
That last sentence is the key for, I must be willing to give up the little god that has captured my loyalty. I must be willing to flee from it and to confess my complete failure to control it without Your strength. Then and only then, can I rely on Your promise to provide a way of escape. Praise You, my Lord.
