Lord's Day Prayer, #7...

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil...

And, Lord, forasmuch as there is in us a bent to turn away from you, Hosea 11:7 so that when our sins are forgiven, we are ready to turn back to folly, Psalm 85:8 we pray that you will not only forgive us our debts but take care of us, that we may not offend anymore. Job 34:32 Lord, lead us not into temptation. We know that no one can say when he is tempted that he is being tempted by God, for God himself tempts no one; James 1:13 but we know that God is able to make all grace abound to us, 2 Corinthians 9:8 and to keep us from stumbling and present us blameless. Jude 1:24 We therefore pray that you will never give us over to our own stubborn hearts, to follow our own counsels, Psalm 81:12 but restrain Satan, that roaring lion who goes about seeking someone to devour; 1 Peter 5:8 and grant that we may not be ignorant of his designs. 2 Corinthians 2:11 O let not Satan have us, to sift us like wheat; or however, let our faith not fail. Luke 22:31-32 Let not the messengers of Satan be permitted to harass us; 2 Corinthians 12:7 but if they do, let your grace be sufficient for us, that where we are weak, there we may be strong, 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 and may be more than conquerors through him who loved us. Romans 8:37 And the God of peace crush Satan under our feet, and do it shortly. Romans 16:20 And since we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against rulers and authorities and the cosmic powers over this present darkness, Ephesians 6:12 let us be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Ephesians 6:10
