Officer SOE/LoE/Where's "here"?
James 4:7-8Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

7 Therefore, submit to God. But resist the Devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, double-minded people!

We all have a problem with temptation, that's human nature. The good news is that we don't have to be bound by it, simply by submitting to God and drawing near to Him enables us to resist. There is a catch, we can't be double-minded about it. We can't dance with the Devil, and then assume we can also be near to God. It is one or the other, not both. Personally I think being near God is a much better long range plan.
