Recently a former teacher of mine had gotten in trouble for some things he did. This had really shocked me; I wondered why he could do such things. I had always liked him as a teacher and couldn't quite imagine it. It made me realize that everybody is tempted, that the devil does prey on the weak so that would be all of us. "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." Peter 5:8. Be aware. That means be aware of ourselves and our own temptations but also to be aware of our neighbors as well. We must pray for our friends and loved ones so that they are kept alert as well. I found myself praying for my former teacher that God may watch over him and help restore him. A prayer is one more shield
