How can Jesus words lead us not into temptation be reconciled with James admonition that God does not tempt man?

When Jesus said: "LEAD US not into temptation, He was asking the Father not to place Him in a situation where the TEMPTER can tempt him.
God Himself never tempts us, but we can be allowed to enter a situation where the Tempter (Satan) can tempt us. (He allowed that with Job if you will remember).
When Jesus was led into the dessert....He was PLACED in a situation where the Tempter can get a hold of him...and this is what we should ask NOT TO HAPPEN in the prayer.
Taking someone to a place where they can be tempted, (or placing them in a situation where temptation can become a problem) and tempting them yourself are two different things...
Hope that helps
