Would our Father lead us into temptation?

[marie_jeannine]

Please explain: In the “Our Father” Jesus tells us the words to say when praying to God. Why would He say to pray, “And lead us not into temptation”?
Why would God lead us into temptation?

Why should we also pray, " Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."? God’s will --will be done whether we pray it be done or not – right?!?

Sorry, but I am confused about these words.
