Lead Us Not into Temptation, but Deliver Us from the Evil One (6 of 7)
Series: The Lord's Prayer

Matthew 6:9-13
We are in a study on the Lord's prayer. Let's read it together:
Matthew 6:9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come.

Or ''Don't let us be led into temptation.'' And we could add, ''…so that I am not led into sin…so that I am not led into ruin.''
Another interesting observation from the prayer as a whole is that all the pieces interactively fit together. For example, if we are harboring unforgiveness, it opens the door for the enemy's attack. In marriage, if there are hurts or fighting, and a spouse is harboring ...
