Our Father... Deliver Us.

• Matthew 6:13 (ESV)

---

Lead us not into temptation ( God can not be tempted nor does he tempt anyone. )
- Figure of speech?
- Linguistic? Permission not caused. Translation issue.
- Cultural context - language of guidance. Rooted in old teammate language. Example: Psalm 23

Doesn't matter. The big idea is not that God has a cozy relationship with sin or temptation. Look at the flow from vs12.
Me centered vs Gospel centered. Temptation to become idol worshipers 1 Corinthians 10:13

Flee idolatry. Only the grace of the Gospel gives us the strength to flee, and deliver us. We need a savior and protector.

Could it be that Jesus has in mind the experience of standing in the fire with mishak shadrak and abemdigo ( spelling?)?

Protection.- Psalm 91:13-16

Struggling with God's protection.
Prayers double edge. Seeming Lack of response spawns doubt and disappointment , while intimate prayer can strengthen our walk and faith.

Move from debilitating doubt to child like-faith.

Living into the Lord's prayer can transform how we see reality and open the kingdom perspective to us.

Practice the Lords prayer and it's guideline in everyday life whole alone with family and around friends.
