In this sermon, Rev. Jourdan Turner Cornell reflects on the sixth petition of the Lord’s Prayer—“Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil”—through the lens of Jesus’ own temptation in the wilderness as recorded in Matthew 4:1-11, showing that our daily spiritual life involves real danger from temptation and a real enemy seeking to derail us. He explains that when we pray this petition, we ask God not to abandon us to the snares that would twist trials into occasions for sin and to protect us from the Evil One who tempts believers, not because God tempts us Himself but because temptation and trials are part of living in a broken world and the enemy seeks to exploit them against us. Cornell emphasizes that while God may sovereignly allow tests to refine our faith, our true plea is for deliverance from the devil’s attempts to turn challenges into spiritual downfall, and that in recognizing our weakness and need for divine help, we trust in God’s power to keep us from falling and to uphold us by His Spirit.
