If God leaves us free to choose either good or bad and doesn't intervene to redirect our decisions then our prayers should be only for the knowledge if His will for us. Right? And further, our prayers for healing, and for safe travel, and for protection are all said with, "thy will be done", knowing that God does not will us to be sick, in danger, nor does He put us in peril. Right?

How do we respond too Jesus' directive to pray, "...and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil?" Is it that we are praying for God to help us choose the good but if we don't, praying for Him to be there for us and help us "get through it?" (the evil).
