Father,

Please lead us not into temptation

but deliver us from evil!

This can be translated

rescue us from nasty stuff

It can also be translated

deliver us from the Evil One

It can also be translated

protect us from the devil the father of all that’s nasty

We’re in a battle.

We’re in a fight against the evils that

emanate from the devil’s kingdom

We need Gods deliverance from

everything that threatens our bodily welfare!

We need Gods deliverance

from all the self-centered

evil inside us

We need Gods protection from the evil outside us,

We need Gods deliverance from malignant forces

in the world,

especially our enemies who wish

to do us harm

We need Gods rescue & provision

in our needs,

through our troubles,

over our limitations,

We need Spiritual penetration into the truth of

God’s complete sufficiency for us

We need Gods help to concentrate on the reality

that nothing can ever snatch away

His kingdom,

His power, and

His glory from us in

the joy of our heavenly, loving Father.

For His is the Kingdom

For His is the Power &

His has all the Glory forever
