Led Away and Delivered

As we analyze the words “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,” we should realize that [the Lord] has given us scripture and sent us prophets to teach us, and as we accept these teachings, we will be led away from and not into temptation. Keeping the commandments and following the teachings of Jesus Christ will give us the strength to resist temptation, and we will be delivered from evil because we will not be associating ourselves with evil or putting ourselves in a position where we will be tempted to do that which is wrong. – N. Eldon Tanner, “The Importance of Prayer,” Ensign (CR) May 1974
