Are some people’s temptations more difficult than other people’s temptations?
No. However difficult our particular temptations may seem, they are no more difficult than anyone else's. We all tend to think that no one has ever been tempted as greatly as we have, but that is simply not true; all our temptations are of the human kind, common to man (1 Corinthians 10:13). And in any case, no matter how difficult our temptations, God is faithful.
