Praying is not about changing Gods mind, but about the changing of ours, as evident in the Lord’s Prayer.

That's not the case.

In The Lord's Prayer the petitioner is asking God to not lead them into temptation but to deliver them from evil.  Isn't that asking God to change his mind if his mind was made up to go the temptation route?

Temptation, is literally the desire to do wrong, the desire to sin. This portion of the prayer, is one asking God to lead us not to desire wrong things, to desire to do what’s sinful. Its asking god to change your heart not his.
