"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."
1 CORINTHIANS 10:13
Temptation is simply the outward pull of desire as a reflection of inner man. The temptations that you feel outwardly reveal the inner spirit of the man. As you walk with the Lord - allow the transformation of your heart and mind to reveal your new temptations.
Feel not worried to have temptation for this is by design - reform that for which you are tempted though by the purification of your spirit in Christ Jesus. Allow the temptation of man to be the outward desires of the Spirit of the Lord.
Temptation itself is not sin. Temptations that you experience due to a lack of focus on God that are yielded to in lust can lead to sin. "Do not lead us into temptation," is said in prayer with a focus on God to yield your human nature of temptation to manifest itself for God's purpose.
