The Lord's Prayer, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one," implies clearly that, though God does not tempt us, nevertheless the temptations that come upon us are not outside the sphere of Divine providence; and it further implies that God is able to shield His children against the evil one and to keep them safe from the gravest danger.
