ST42: Praying "Lead Us Not Into Temptation" (Slow Prayer)

Slow Theology: Simple Faith for Chaotic Times

NOTE

Power of Prayer Disarms Temptation

Praying for guidance to avoid temptation can empower individuals to articulate their desires, reinforcing their belief in spiritual truths. Vocalizing requests hones focus and diminishes the influence of temptation. Silence in prayer often magnifies internal struggles, exposing darker thoughts and impulses one may prefer to avoid. This discomfort arises because prayer can unveil hidden emotions like lust, hatred, and anger. Acknowledging and confronting these feelings is essential, as they may emerge during moments of stillness. Therefore, the prayer, 'lead us not into temptation,' serves as a pivotal reminder of the inner battles faced during spiritual introspection.
