We pray that he will shield us from temptations and trials that we are too weak to resist. By praying this powerful prayer, we place our entire hope for salvation into our Father’s hands.   And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.—Matthew 6:13 (ESV) God placed Adam and Eve in Eden,...
