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.
