(James 1:12) “Blessed is he who perseveres in temptation, for when he has been proven he will receive the crown of life that God promised to those who love him.”
 
In praying the Lord’s Prayer, “When we say ‘lead us not into temptation’ we are asking God not to allow us to take the path that leads to sin. This petition implores the Spirit of discernment and strength; it requests the grace of vigilance and final perseverance.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraph 2863)
