What is temptation? I know in the Lord's Prayer, the line is "Lead us not into temptation" - what do you view this as meaning?

Great question!

Without looking up a definition, I would say, temptation is a strong desire to do something that wouldn't be good for me physically or spiritually, whether it's eating unhealthy food or doing something morally wrong.

To Me temptation is doing anything that You feel Guilty About , anything that is Definatly Wrong.
Whether it be Smoking , Stealing , Buying something You can't Afford , Lying , Drinking , Not Following Your Diet, Cheating on your Spouse , - It can Be small Or Big , but If it Makes you feel Bad it is Bad And Wrong and It is Brought On by Temptation.

Now I Say the Lords Prayer every week , and I Am Leaded to Temptation alot , and I Do Give in to Temptation alot Too.
