Westminster Larger Catechism 195:
Q. 195. What do we pray for in
the sixth petition?
A. In the sixth petition (which is, And lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil), acknowledging that the most wise, righteous, and
gracious God, for divers holy and just ends, may so order things, that we may
be assaulted, foiled, and for a time led captive by temptations; that Satan,
the world, and the flesh, are ready powerfully to draw us aside, and ensnare
us; and that we, even after the pardon of our sins, by reason of our
corruption, weakness, and want of watchfulness, are not only subject to be
tempted, and forward to expose ourselves unto temptations, but also of
ourselves unable and unwilling to resist them, to recover out of them, and to
improve them; and worthy to be left under the power of them; we pray, that God
would so overrule the world and all in it, subdue the flesh, and restrain
Satan, order all things, bestow and bless all means of grace, and quicken us to
watchfulness in the use of them, that we and all his people may by his
providence be kept from being tempted to sin; or, if tempted, that by his
Spirit we may be powerfully supported and enabled to stand in the hour of
temptation; or when fallen, raised again and recovered out of it, and have a
sanctified use and improvement thereof: that our sanctification and salvation
may be perfected, Satan trodden under our feet, and we fully freed from sin,
temptation, and all evil, forever.
