Bible Question (short): Do I understanding this correctly

Question (full): Am I understanding this correctly in your opinion?

Read James 1:13

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man
KJV

Now read Matthew 6:13

Matthew 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
KJV

Okay, in James 1:13 it's obvious what the scripture says. "God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man"

In Matthew 6:13 it says "lead us not into temptation"

Now, from my understanding this is how I see this. God does not tempt man period according to James 1:13 and we can take the word "lead" in Matthew 6:13 literally. For example, He may "lead" us or as we say a lot now days, "allow us" to be tempted but he does not tempt us.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Thanks and may God bless you!
