isnt they always says do not lead us to the test but deliver us from evil? but why does it contrast with the one below?(here it shows that god dopes lead us to to temptation a prayer but the bible says another thing?)which is true?why would god lead us to the test if he ask us not to sin is that making sense?
(James 1:13-15) . . .When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone. 14 But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. 15 Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn, sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death.

He will give us a path away from sin, if we pray this prayer every day and mean it. It is up to us to take this path.
If we do not take it we are accountable for our actions. He will let us receive our just punishment. Which is better then eternal damnation.
Who is really a dope? One who chooses temporary pleasure with eternal damnation, or in Jesus Name, eternal life with our Father.

The Lord's Prayer says, "to deliver us FROM temptation" not to it. James is saying God does not trial anyone by temptation Himself. It comes from within us due to our desires which Satan uses to get us far away from God. He gets that desire to grow until it causes sin and sin causes us to lose our lives.
The Bible shows unity when at Romans 5:12 it tells us that through Adam, sin entered the world and death through that sin and death spread to all men because of that inherited sin from Adam. This is why all of us die.

The Lords Prayer says "Our father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come they will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who tresspass against us lead us NOT into temptation but deliver us from evil." Then it is said deliver us lord from every evil and grant us peace in our day keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our savior Jesus Christ.
God only wants you to make the correct decisions in your life to live your life the way Christ himself would. But he also understands that there are temptations out there and bad influences, and that is why we have such a forgiving God. And Loving God.

I don't understand what confuses you. Those verses are pretty clear, God doesn't test us. Satan makes bad things look good, or exciting, and whatever it is that we think about a lot, we are more drawn to. Our desires cause us to do things we shouldn't. God wants us to do the right things, but He knows we're weak and need His help. That's why we pray.
