Lead us not into temptation. Matthew 6:13. Divine answer. God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but will with the temptation also make a way to escape that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13. Psalms 67:1. Compared with the beautiful words, Ecclesiastes 1:13
The nearer to heaven, the higher the mountains, the deeper the valleys, and the sharper the conflicts. But be not discouraged! It is only for the trial of faith. God gives also more strength, carrieth us through all, as he has done from the beginning, and suffers none to be ashamed who trust in him. Sometimes we may seem to be tempted above measure, and are afraid of being confounded; but far from it, it is quite impossible we should. Here thou hast the plain words of the Lord. Take hold on them, and wait his time; for since the world stands no one has been confounded in any thing who has waited for his promise; and surely he will not make thee the first instance of the failure of his word; by no means. Philippians 1:10. Isaiah 54:10. Rather should the mountains depart, and the hills be removed, says the Lord, that hath mercy on thee
Our God, how firm his promise stands,
Even when he hides his face!
He trusts in our Redeemer’s hands
His glory and his grace.
Then why, my soul, these sad complaints,
Since Christ and we are one?
Thy God is faithful to his saints,
Is faithful to his Son.
