Our Father - The Deliverance of God
Church Family—
When we pray, “Lead us not into temptation,” we are asking God to spare us from trials so heavy that our faith might falter. This prayer is not about avoiding all challenges, because life brings those in abundance, but about seeking God’s mercy and direction in the midst of them. Interestingly, Paul gives fathers a similar admonition: “Do not exasperate your children” (Ephesians 6:4). Just as parents are called to guide their children without overwhelming them, so we trust our Heavenly Father not to place us in circumstances that would crush us rather than strengthen us.
Join us this Sunday as we reflect on what it means to pray for God’s guidance and protection, trusting His wisdom to shape us through trials without letting us be overcome by them.
Blessings,
Rev. Dr. Adam Thornton
Senior Pastor
