“… lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil …”
Continuing our series based on each phrase in the Lord’s Prayer, we’re considering “… lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil …” Pray for God’s help as you read Ephesians 6:10-20.
Where does the church’s strength and defence come from? (See also Ephesians 1:18-23)
What actually are we called to do?
How do we stand firm in practice? How does Paul plan to stand firm (verses 18-20)?
Pray for God’s help to stand firm in faith, ethically, and in witness.
Please also pray … for our individual witness:
Pray for those you live near, work with, relax with, or regularly see in life (shop workers, delivery people, etc.), for family members and friends.
Pray our prayerfulness: that we would completely depend on God as we life for Christ.
Pray for God to "take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ" (2 Cor 10:5)
