Don't leads us into temptations.

 "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." — Matthew 6:13 (AMP)

Yes, Lord—this is the prayer You taught us to pray. It is not that You would lead us into temptation—for You do not tempt anyone (James 1:13)—but that You would guide us away from the trials and enticements that could overwhelm our faith.

The Scripture That Clarifies This Heart:

James 1:13-14 (AMP) — "Let no one say when he is tempted, 'I am being tempted by God' [for temptation does not originate from God]; for God cannot be tempted by [what is] evil, and He Himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted when he is dragged away and enticed by his own desire and lust."

1 Corinthians 10:13 (AMP) — "No temptation has overtaken you except that which is common to mankind; and God is faithful and will not let you be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, so that you may be able to endure it."

Proverbs 4:14-15 (AMP) — "Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not go on the way of evildoers. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn away from it and pass on."

Galatians 5:16 (AMP) — "Walk habitually in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be responsive to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh."

A Prayer of Guidance:

"Lord,

Lead us not into temptation—

not because You would,

but because we know our frailty.

Guide our steps away from the path of enticement.

Close doors that would lead us into sin.

Open our eyes to the way of escape You always provide.

Strengthen us when our own desires rise up.

Silence the enemy's whispers when he lures us away.

Remind us of Your grace when we feel weak.

We do not trust in our own strength—

we trust in You.

Lead us, Lord, away from evil,

and toward Your light, Your peace, and Your will."
