And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Don't let us walk into situations where we'll mess up, but keep us safe from what's harmful and wrong. Because you're the one who's really in charge, you have all the power and all the glory, forever and always. Amen.
God, guide us away from trouble and toward what's good, you're the one running the show anyway.
