temptation in itself isnt sin
it is when you entertain the lustful thoughts and day dream or fantasize it becomes sin
then after you give into this you will try to manifest a way to feed your lusts
1.2 Corinthians 10:5
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
(when the temptation hits acknowledge it isnt of God)
2.1 Thessalonians 5
17 Pray without ceasing.
(even in public you can pray to God in your head..... if temptation strikes your thoughts beg and plead with God to deliver you from them until they go away..... they will probably come back but then you need to pray again "without ceasing")
3.Proverbs 24
16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

1 John 2
2 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous
(if you fail remember God is forgiving but try again to rely on Him in your weakness and not yourself)
5.james 1
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
(be patient, God will provide growth if you are His child.... even if you mess up do not give up keep placing your faith in Him and dont feel like you need to get yourself "right" before you go back to Him..... RUSH to Him in the good or bad)

sorry for the many verses man
here is a few more
hebrews 12
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
(if you are His child already and choose to sin He will chasten you..... there will be things that happen in order to teach you many lessons... if you keep messing up then you see many new trials in your life.... dont get upset because youre "trying so hard" and nothings going right..... just rely on God... endure in faith and cling to Him at all times and in time... you will see the evidence He has been at work in you)

Philippians 1
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
