Temptation is a huge part in all of our lives and it is usually the thing that either brings out the best in us or brings out the worst in us. Temptation is God's way of saying "prove to me that I am better than what you're sinning for!". Think of that main addiction you have, whether it be smoking, lusting for girls, uncontrollable foul mouthing. Is it really worth not letting go? Is it really so big in your life that you can say this:
"This is worth more to me than God's love is"
If you can say that and not feel like a bolt of lightning is about to emerge from the sky on to your tiny little head, please call 1-800- Im - Screwed (wait for the beep)
If you find that you cannot say that sentence, good! Continue to ask for forgiveness(and mean it) and every time you feel tempted to do whatever it is you're addicted to, just ask:
Is this worth more to me than God's love?
