Our Father: People Of Prayer - Part 6

Prayer has been central to the church since its inception, with God calling His people to be joyful in prayer. The phrase 'Lead us not into temptation' in the Lord's Prayer doesn't suggest God might tempt us, but rather asks for strength to resist temptation. Being tempted isn't sinful—yielding to it is. God promises that no temptation will be too great and always provides a way of escape. When facing temptation, we should take decisive action, sometimes literally running away from certain sins. The prayer concludes with praise, reminding us to mingle our prayers with worship to stay connected to God's presence.
