Don't think about chocolate! It is hard to control what we think about and very often what we do. Overcoming temptation is more than simply saying no to an occasional thought or desire. As we grow older we learn more and more that overcoming is a life journey, requiring God's wisdom, and his Spirit to transform our hearts and minds.
