Deliver us From Evil Matthew 6:13 \u2013 \u201cAnd lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one\u201d At first glance, this part of the Lord\u2019s Prayer seems a bit odd. Why would Jesus tell us to pray that God not lead us into temptation? Does God tempt us? And what exactly did Jesus mean when he talked about being delivered from the evil one? In the West we typically don\u2019t talk about evil a whole lot. After all, we tend to think that all problems can be solved through science, innovation, and progress. We rarely consider just how much dark spiritual forces directly impact our lives. Yet, for Jesus, overcoming the temptations of Satan and defeating Satan and his forces was of utmost importance. Even though Jesus was victorious over evil, until He returns, Satan will continue to attack the Church. This week we\u2019ll focus on the powerful weapon of prayer in this battle.
