Romans 10:8b-13; Luke 4:1-13
Jesus' temptation in the wilderness came when he was at his weakest physically. Temptation usually comes to us when we are tired, lonely, discouraged, feeling defeated, angry or desperate.  Just as Jesus was "famished" from hunger, we can be famished spiritually. Because of Jesus' victory, we, too, can triumph over temptation, if we call upon him in our distress and if we keep ourselves fed by his presence.
