That's why Jesus said in Mat 26:41 just before He was captured:
"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
It's not something that we should take it lightly. We have to always on watch!
Devil doesn't take any break from tempting us, making anything but Jesus our idols. They only have one purpose, is to break our relationship and enlarge their own kingdom.
Be cautious, keep praying and read God's word to identify and know their tactics and their plot. It's our advantage that the devil doesn't know or hold our past and future, only Jesus our God did.
And finally, I'd like to quote the "Final Instruction" from Paul to the church in Thessalonians:
Final Instructions
12 Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. 13 Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. 14 And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idleand disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. 15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt 21 but test them all; hold on to what is good, 22 reject every kind of evil.
23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, souland body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it. (1 Thes 5)
