I have timely think about this, why is it that we feel mostly tempted when we pray, the last time I was tempted, was the time I feel stupid urge inside my head and it was so clear as if I am having it right there, I knew it was a temptation coming because i didn't have it in mind to think about that.
Two weeks ago, I was still fasting and pray, my fasting was to last for three hours and then I see my brother coming into the house with fried chicken, and this so called fried chicken is something that easily turn me on, so I get up from my seat and walk like someone who is controlled by a remote, I grabbed one piece of the fried chicken, I wanted to dip it inside my mouth and then my mother came out of her room with hardcore prayerful song.
She sang that kind of songs that is used in prayer-house and then her song makes me remember that I was fasting and yet it is not time for me to eat, I drop the chicken so fast and my brother was so surprised, why I didn't chew because the way I dropped it, it seems like holy water enter my body that makes me drop it on speed.
And then I realized that this fasting and prayers of a thing is something that so many people are doing this days. A week ago, I visits my friend who did fasting and prayers, when he told me about his commitment on that day, even while I wanted to stay for a more few hours, I decided to spent little times with him and then went home.
What I did was to enable him focus on his prayers but i didn't know that, my staying with him was what help him in it fasting.
Immediately I left where he was, he told me on a call that he was tempted and he as ate the apple in his fridge, out of forgetting he was doing fasting and prayers, so he did the fasting again yesterday, and the same thing happened, my friend could not even keep to time and know when he is to start eating.
I asked him, if his mother do not use to sing that kind of song they sing in prayer-house, he replied that she used to, I let him know, he should let his mother's song direct him when he is fasting, because it was what I did and it works for me.
The way i see it is that, if he wants to do the fasting again today, he might still forget what he was doing and eat when he is not yet out of fasting.
Last night when we were talking I sense him trying to insinuate that he will asked his girlfriend to fast for him instead, I didn't want to tell him that his girlfriend would not want to do it, I want him to try and see, if she will accepts to fast for him or not.
This one he is making guess of people he would asked to fast for him, I wish his girlfriend did it for him because if she can't do it, that mean no other friend would do it then.
Even before I left his house that day, I told him that apples are temptation fruit, he should allow me to go with it, but he refused and want to keep it for himself, now he has seen what that apple's cause him, apple is a precious fruits and it can either be a dangerous fruit, the whole thing is just on where we found it.
When we keep apple in the presence of our love ones, it means, the love we have for them are so loveable, but when we keep apple in the place where we are doing fasting, it would tried to lure us into temptation, because of the sweetness and the beautiful rounded size it has.
Apples has red color, red things attract, that is why, you should know the amount of apple you buy to your home, if really necessary, buy the number you can finished that day.
If you see an apple in the store or in a place you went to, do not buy it!, what did I say?, do not buy it!! else the red beautiful rounded size fruit is going to lure you into temptation.
And the same goes to fried chicken, do not buy it to the house, it has some potential of making you tempted, so avoid the both of them for your spiritual welfare.
Yay! 🤗

Thanks I admire your comment @lolzbot
Whenever I fast, I would have forgotten. It is until I have tasted how delicious the meal I was cooking will I remember I am fasting. It's always funny but not good. One needs to be focused when fasting but temptations are inevitable, they must surely come. Lol
The temptations in the time we fast are big, I just realized that one needs to be strong so that we do not fall into this, it's not actually a good though to forget in times like that, thanks I admire your comment.
We need to be strong oo. Lol
You are welcome, too.
I sent you plenty hug @princessbusayo 🥰, I admire your comment.
I'm hardly tempted to eat whenever I fast, the only times when I'm affected is the first few days after I commence my fast.
Apples are indeed fruits of temptation 😁
Yes, the first few days of beginning a fasting, are the times to be more careful about, but when we do it like for days, temptations wouldn't comes again, apples are fruits a person needs to be careful about, thanks I admire your comment.
