Yes....we do ask ואל תביאנו לא לידי חטא ולא לידי ניסיון......
That we can go about life without all that.

It should be for the obvious good.
Rabbi Yitzchak Kirzner, in Making Sense of Suffering, discusses when bad happens and it's NOT direct punishment. There are reasons. Not that we could tell others but that we should know for ourselves.

Rabbi Krohn often tells about meeting Rav Shimon Schwab zt"l when he and his brother zt"l were in a local hospital with their critically ill father. Rav Schwab asked how he was doing and Rabbi Krohn said, I have bitachon he'll get better. Rav Schwab very sternly said, that's not bitachon. Bitachon is knowing that Hashem is in charge and has a reason for everything He does. (Apologies if not 100% right.)

Rabbi Krohn said that this was important hachana for when his father passed away a few weeks later.

Yes everything is for the good in the end but as we say "v'lo al yidei yisurim v'chalayim raim"--we ask that just as we need a lesson we'd rather get it through less painful methods.

This world is a place where can find great joy and deep pain. We have two brachot for both emotions, hatov vehametiv for happy occasions and dayan haemett when we suffer loss. In the next world we will have only one bracha, we will only say hatov vehametiv because we'll see the beauty and good in everything. In olam hazeh we may know that everything Hashem does is good, but in our limited capacity as humans we sometimes feel deep pain. We ask that Hashem should help us fulfill our mission in this world without experiencing anything that causes us to feel grief. There are times we're meant to laugh and times we're meant to cry. Our job is to know that it's all from Hashem, it's all in His hands, and to reach out to Him in prayer.
