The Lord’s Prayer: Lead Us Not into Temptation (28th Wednesday - Questions 126-130)
Temptation is everywhere, pulling us toward what is harmful and away from what is good. Jesus teaches us to pray, 'Lead us not into temptation,' recognizing our need for God’s strength to resist sin.
The catechism explains that temptation is an enticement to sin, but God provides a way to stand firm (1 Corinthians 10:13). He does not tempt us (James 1:13), but He allows trials that refine our faith (1 Peter 1:6-7). We resist temptation through prayer, Scripture, and reliance on the Holy Spirit (Matthew 4:1-11; Ephesians 6:10-18).
If you feel weak against temptation, seek God’s help. Explore questions 126-130 in the catechism to understand how He empowers us to resist sin.
Transform Our Heart Through Prayer
Father, strengthen me to resist temptation. Lead me in the path of righteousness and guard my heart against sin. Amen.
