And don’t let us yield to temptation,
but rescue us from the evil one.
Thinking on the Lord's prayer, and in particular verse 13, I thought about Job and how we often think of Job being a righteous man and yet, God tested him.
I only hope that when I am tested, I will not argue the case of my righteousness before God and question why I am in the situation that I am in.
But I want to (O help me, Lord!) remember that I have a Saviour, Whose blood I have been bought by, from sin and death, into redemption and life. And that under Whose shadows, behind His Cross, I will want to hide.
O Lord, I pray that when I am tested, I will not question, why me, or why has my (attempt at) righteousness resulted in this. But instead Lord, help me to pray that You would defend me, that You would hear my cry and have mercy on me, that You would help me to have steadfast faith in Your righteousness and sovereignty.
Take me deeper into the depths of Your unchanging nature, O Lord.
