Bible Study: Matthew 6:6-13

Do not let us be overcome by temptations.

In this final session of our series on the Lord’s Prayer, we explore the final ask: “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.” Join us as we unpack three key takeaways:

1. Expect trials and prepare for them.

2. Recognise the reality of evil and trust in God’s deliverance.

3. Process hardships through the lens of God’s fatherly love.

This study invites us to see temptation and challenges not as obstacles, but as opportunities to lean into God’s protection, grow in character, and trust His leadership.
