I think you've touched on something important here that I also touched on at the end of my comment above; namely, that in practice, it is often more effective to invest resources in taking preemptive steps to avoid moral dilemmas than it is to prepare for, or expect to be satisfied with your behavior in, actual moral dilemmas.
Such as to build some safety mechanism in trolleys? :D
Also, Bible says "do not bring us into temptation" instead of "help us overcome temptation".
