Matthew 6:13 (NKJV) 13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
As Jesus wrapped up this last part of His discourse on how to pray, He hit on the delicate, yet very relevant subject of temptation and evil. And then He finished by giving God glory and honor. Let’s take a look.
God, I know you are not the tempter. I know that all good things come from you, and you alone.
Give me the strength to turn and walk away from temptation when it tries to entice me. Open my eyes so that I might see temptation for what it is; a snare waiting to capture me and hurt or kill me.
And deliver me, Father, from the enemy of my soul, the evil one who wishes to destroy me and separate me from you forever with sin and darkness. Help me to withstand his schemes and have victory over them.
For your kingdom is above all kingdoms. And you rule and reign over everything, seen and unseen. All power and glory belong to you forever and ever. Amen!
So, there you have it. The model for prayer, set forth by Jesus Himself!
We hope you have enjoyed this short series and that it has helped shed some light on some things that maybe you didn’t previously know, or maybe get you to think about some things you had never really thought about before.
Now, go and pray in power!
