"Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us, this day, our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil."
The Church of England version then adds:
"For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory,
For ever and ever."
That prayer is really funny since it places the for one's failures on the Big Guy for tempting him = "And lead us not into temptation". Instead of the "devil made me do it" defense it becomes "I wouldn't have done it but I couldn't resist God's temptation" defense.
