Disciples' Prayer: unnecessary trials or tribulation?
Disciples’ Prayer part 4
Matthew 6:13 (my translation/paraphrase)
And do not lead us through trials (but around them),
save us from evil (whether toils and pains or from people who are used by the devil).
For the kingdom is Yours, and You are able, You have the glory, for all time, Amen.
Father,
Thank you for today. Thank you for this day of rest for many. Thank you that You are the King who rules with power and glory forever. Thank You that You have the ability to do all that we have asked in this prayer. Thank you that you have given us the ability to connect with You and to understand and apply Your Word in our lives. In Jesus’ name,
Amen
What are we saying in these sentences? Why are they where they are in this teaching? Here, we ask God to not only help us to avoid unnecessary trouble in life, but that he would also protect us from evil things and people, specifically those that cause extra toil and pain in our lives. Why does this come after forgiveness, rather than before? Many of the ills in our lives come as a result of unforgiveness and regret. If we live forgiven and forgiving, those wounds will heal more readily, and we won’t have as much tying us to those old traumas and causing health problems, along with providing the enemy with less target area to hit us with accusations and other things in the spirit, which can manifest in blocking things like provision and relationships.
What about the last sentence? We are reminding ourselves that our Father is the King, and glorifying Him as such. If the Kingdom is His, then he has the ability (clause 2) to fulfill all we asked and declared in this prayer, and we also ascribe praise and honor to Him as we close it all up (for the moment, as we are called to a life of constant prayer, at least if you consider Paul as a credible source of information).
