This is a simple request that God's leading not cause us to be tempted to do wrong. The book of James tells us that God never tempts anyone, so looked at in light of that it's asking him to protect us from ourselves.
We get tempted. It would make no sense for God to make a rule and then try to get us to break it. That just shows a really wrong-headed view of God as a cosmic tyrant instead of a loving father.
