Strength to resist	SS	And lead us not into temptation.
What does this mean? 
God tempts no one. We pray in this petition that God would guard and keep us so that the devil, the world, and our sinful nature may not deceive us or mislead us into false belief, despair, and other great shame and vice. Although we are attacked by these things, we pray that we may finally overcome them and win the victory.	
Hymn: LSB 663 lutheran-hymnal.com/online/tlh-446.mid
1 Rise, my soul, to watch and pray;
From your sleep awaken!
Be not by the evil day
Unawares o'ertaken;
For the foe,/ Well we know,
Is a harvest reaping
While the saints are sleeping.
2 Watch against the devil's snares
Lest asleep he find you;
For indeed no pains he spares
To deceive and blind you.
Satan's prey/ Oft are they
Who secure are sleeping
And no watch are keeping.
3 Watch! Let not the wicked world
With its lies defeat you
Lest with bold deceptions hurled
It betray and cheat you.
Watch and see/ Lest there be
Faithless friends to charm you,
Who but seek to harm you.
4 Watch against yourself, my soul,
Lest with grace you trifle;
Let not self your thoughts control
Nor God's mercy stifle.
Pride and sin/ Lurk within,
All our hopes to shatter;
Heed not when they flatter.
5 But while watching, also pray
To the Lord unceasing.
God protects you day by day,
Strength and faith increasing.
So that still/ Mind and will
Shall unite to serve Him
And forever love Him.
