Jesus teaches us to pray to our Father and Shepherd that we would not be overcome by and succumb to temptation. Instead, we’re called to run to the Father as our Deliverer, as he is the only one who can deliver us and has delivered us in the person and work of Jesus. Now, as those in Christ, we’re called to depend on God daily for strength to overcome sin in our lives.
