What is the sixth petition (of the Lord’s Prayer)? “And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.” That is, since we are so weak in ourselves, that we cannot stand for a moment; while our sworn enemies, the devil, the world, and our own flesh, assail us without ceasing; be pleased to preserve and strengthen us by the power of your Holy Spirit, that we may make firm stand against them, and not sink in this spiritual war, until we finally obtain complete victory.
