THE SIXTH PETITION.

=And lead us not into temptation.=

_That is_,

God indeed tempts no one, but we pray in this petition that He would

guard and keep us from the devil, the world, and our own flesh, that

we fall not, through their deceit, into unbelief, despair, or other

sins; but we pray that although we be thus tempted, we may overcome

the temptation, and remain victorious.

_310. What do you pray for in this petition?_
