Luke 11L1
Now it came to pass, as Jesus was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, ” Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples”
So Jesus said to them, ” When you pray, say:
” Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Your Holy Name.
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
For Thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.”
NB. When we pray we need to ask God to deliver us from the evil one, so that we can resist temptation.
God is always willing to help, guide and direct us away from sinfulness.
And He wants to lead us on the straight and narrow way that leads to life eternal through Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Redeemer.
