The Lord's Prayer "but deliver us from evil"

We now come to the end of the Lord's prayer. Now we ask for deliverance from evil or from the evil one. We pray to God for protection from evil. I take this time to put on the armor of God that Paul talks about in Ephesians 6. If you think about this armor that God has given us, it is like we are clothing ourselves with God. That He covers us and protects us from every evil as we depend on Him. I also pray against that attacks of the enemy in my life. I stand as a child of God under His kingdom rule and authority. Think of it this way, if someone were to attack an ambassador of our country it would be viewed as an attack on the nation itself. We are God's ambassador's and attacks against us are attacks against God. As Elisha says in 2 Kings 6, those who are with us are more powerful than those who are with the enemy. Depend on God to deliver you from evil and trust His guidance.
