And do not give the devil an opportunity [to lead you into sin by holding a grudge, or nurturing anger, or harboring resentment, or cultivating bitterness].
Lord, forgive me. Many times in the past I have sinned through anger, grudges, harboring resentment for minor offenses, and allowing unforgiveness into my heart to take root, leading to bitterness. Remind me that these are ways Satan invades my heart and gets a foothold, Lord, and remind me that footholds become strongholds, ultimately leading me far from You.
