Jesus taught us to rely on God to identify and overcome temptation.
Several Translations/Interpretations:
NRS Matt 6:13 And do not bring us to the time of trial...
NIV Matt 6:13 And lead us not into temptation...
NLT Matthew 6:13 And don't let us yield to temptation...
Do we ignore Jesus' teaching to rely on God to identify and overcome temptation?
Note: If we rely on ourselves to identify pitfalls in our journey, we will miss them and they will overcome us. If we think we can overcome pitfalls ourselves, we will probably stumble into them. Following Jesus is done through the Father's wisdom and power not ours.
