Ũhotani maru-inĩ maku

According to this Kikuyu inspiration, human determination will always fail you in the dark. The greatest defense against temptation is not a strong will; it is consistent prayer.​We must pray preemptively—before the temptation arrives—asking God to protect our appetites and guide our steps. Do not wait until you are standing in the middle of a trap to start calling on Heaven. Prayer alters the spiritual atmosphere around you, exposing the hooks inside the enemy’s bait. If you want to stand tall against compromise in public, you must practice falling on your knees in private.
