Catechism Reading:

The Sixth Petition

And lead us not into temptation.

What does this mean?

God tempts no one.

We pray in this petition that God would guard and keep us

so that the devil, the world, and our sinful nature

may not deceive us or mislead us

into false belief, despair, and other great shame and vice.

Although we are attacked by these things,

we pray that we may finally overcome them and win the victory.

The Seventh Petition

But deliver us from evil.

What does this mean?

We pray in this petition, in summary,

that our Father in heaven would rescue us

from every evil of body and soul, possessions and reputation,

and finally, when our last hour comes, give us a blessed end,

and graciously take us from this valley of sorrow

to Himself in heaven.
