“Lead us not into temptation” is a prayer acknowledging our weakness and asking God to guide our steps with wisdom and discernment.
“Deliver us from evil” asks God to protect us from deception, fear, temptation, pride, bitterness, division, and every strategy of the enemy.
It is also a prayer for inward deliverance from pride, selfish ambition, unbelief, anger, unforgiveness, and spiritual blindness.
Ultimately, it is a prayer of transformation—surrendering our old nature, resisting darkness, and allowing Christ to be fully formed in us.
