Improving Your Prayer Life - Part Three: Temptation Liberation

Most of us find it a bit unnatural to pray, “Father, lead us not into temptation.” Do you know why? There is a part of us that WANTS to go to that place. Part of me wants to pray, “Father, lead US not into temptation…because I don’t need Your help getting there since I know the way myself. And when I get there, I don’t want You or anyone else around!” Praying, “Father, lead us not into temptation” is a bit like praying, “Lead us not to where we kinda wanna go.” Can we really pray “Lead us not into temptation” and truly mean it? We can. You can, and this Sunday God is going to show you how. In fact, at the end of the service, most of us are going to pray it like we mean it, and it’s going to be liberating and beautiful.
