Theres a verse that says there is no temptation that God doesnt give us a way out.
1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able but will with the temptation also make a way to escape that ye may be able to bear it.
JAMES 4 78 EPHESIANS 6 1314 15 16 17 18 CAN HELP
Pray for strength not to fall but also pray for strength to be able to stand up every time you do. With your experience from falling maybe you have learned even a little to get away from where it could be tempting. Prayer does not give you strength enough unless you try to do something that will keep you away from it. Reading stories about people who have overcome may be of help but it is still your firm desire to keep away is what will help you and you knew that. Stop blaming the devil for if you ran out of reasons you will tend to blame god for not helping you.
1 Cor. 10:13 given by the others is not your answer. Hello? Cant people read? The ? is how to stay strong and fight temptation. In Matthew 26:41 Jesus explained the answer is to pray. In the model prayer we are to pray to God that He leads us not into temptation. So the answer is all about prayer being close to God and abiding in Him. So stay strong and endure to not fall into the temptations because we can fall away and lose salvation because of temptations. Heed the word: THE PARABLE of THE SOWER Luke 8:58 Jesus said A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed some fell by the wayside and it was trampled down and the birds of the air devoured it. Some fell on rock and as soon as it sprang up it withered away because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it. But others fell on good ground sprang up and yielded a crop a hundredfold. When He had said these things He cried He who has ears to hear let him hear Note: If you can hear then you ought to know that in order for someone to wither away they had to once have a good life in the body of Christ. Someone cant wither away if they were never saved to begin with because if they were never saved then they never had life that could wither away. JESUS then explained THE PARABLE of THE SOWER Luke 8:1115 Jesus said Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the wayside are the ones who hear then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts lest they should believe and be saved Note: These people do not become believers after they hear the word of God but the others next do believe and get born again but they lose their life in Christ and fall away because of sin. But the ones on the rock are those who when they hear receive the word with joy and these have no root who believe for a while Note: For a time they were bornagain believers. Its the common word for believe pisteuo. They had saving faith. They had the conviction and trust to which a man is impelled by a certain inner and higher prerogative of law and soul. That is what to believe means. In other words they had the power of God within them to drive them to have a distinctively superior advantage of having their souls obey His moral law but they only did it for a while. and in time of temptation fall away Note: They had been set free from sin but they didnt resist the temptation when they were enticed to sin. The word for fall away means they depart desert withdraw fall away whichever definition you choose to use from having life in Christ. They became faithless. They got that way because they fell for the temptation of sin. The people who say that the ones who fall away were not real believers contradict Gods word because it clearly says they believed for a while. Plus you cant fall away from something if you were never with it to begin with. Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who when they have heard go out and they are choked with cares riches and pleasures of life and bring no fruit to maturity. Note: To go out also means to pursue the journey on which one has entered. They had entered into a life with Christ but while seeking where that life would lead them their fruit did not mature. They got choked. It means to choke utterly the seed of the divine word sown in the mind. Riches wealth abundance of external possessions and pleasures lust is what caused it.
