Temptation

. Do not lead us into temptation

Matthew 6:13

And lead us not into temptation, 

 but deliver us from the evil one.’

. Lest you enter into it

Matthew 25:41

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me,  you who are cursed, into the eternal fire  prepared for the devil and his angels.

. In time of temptation fall away

Luke 8:13

Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.

. Temptation has overtaken you

1 Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful;  he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.  But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

. To be rich fall into temptation

1 Timothy 6:9

Those who want to get rich  fall into temptation and a trap  and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.

.The man who endures temptation

James 1:12

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial  because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life  that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

Thoughts   

. The idea that everything would happen exactly as it does regardless of whether we pray or not haunts the minds of many who sincerely profess belief in God. It makes prayer psychologically impossible, replacing it with dead ritual at best.
