When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, I doubt that they understood how profound the answer would be. "The Lord's Prayer" (Matt 6:9-13; Luke 11:2-4) as it has been known through the thousands of years of tradition, has been taught about, orchestrated into grand musical productions, and found its way in many forms of literature. There is one phrase that blesses me every time I pray it. "But deliver us from evil" That's right. He is a Deliverer. Evil is present in the world. As Jesus told His disciples on another occasion,
John 16:33 I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world.” Why has He conquered the world? Because He is a deliverer!
