Resisting Temptation

So I'm not gonna lie, I've been fighting an impulse for a while tonight. When I got back to my room about a couple hours ago, it hit me how much work I have to do and that I really don't have time to go see my friend in Pittsburgh tomorrow. I've got 3 midterms this week and one of them I'm extremely worried about. So I thought about cutting. I didn't, but I did text Fr. Greg letting him know what was going on. He said he's praying for me and to stay strong for tonight. So I promised him I wouldn't cut. Then, I decided to pray my Marian Consecration prayers for today. I opened up the book and today's reflection was on RESISTING TEMPTATION!! How crazy is that? I think it's definitely God intervening here. The Total Consecration was written by St. Louis de Montfort. Here's a few lines from today's consecration: "All the saints passed through many tribulations and temptations and were purified by them, And they that could not support temptations, became reprobate and fell away." I mean how crazy is that?! I'm so glad I prayed the Consecration tonight because I know that, for sure, God was involved.
