COMMENTARY 
We wish to look at the prayer guide of Jesus popularly called: "the Lord's prayer." Particularly we will meditatively go through the deliverance part of the Lord's prayer. I was thinking about the Lord's prayer to see if there is provision for our deliverance and safety in the prayers. Until I saw that portion: "deliver us from evil." As I meditatively kept quiet, thinking about many evils that occurs around people. How people harbor and hatch evil against their neighbors. I come to conclusion that truly humans deserve deliverance through the omnipotent God who sees all the secret movements and traps.

The entire Verse 4 of Luke chapter 11 is dedicated to deliverance. Someone who is into sin is trapped. The weight and heaviness of sin need to go off our neck. If God will forgive our sins it is dependent on us . Most times believers are lock themselves in the prison of unforgiven spirit. Unforgiven spirit has carried many people captive and kept them in the prison of unforgiveness. These prisoners are characterized by those who claims too much of right. God's deliverance comes most times when we voluntarily give up our rights. When we forgets about what we are and who we are and focus on God to obey His command.

If you practice the principle of forgiveness, you will always experience open heaven over your life. God will be very ready for you at all times that you open your mouth to say anything. Every deliverance begins with forgiveness of sin. If your sins are not forgiven, that is when other evil finds their way to your life. Your sins could also be forgiven but you will need to stand your ground and resist temptations. Temptations is like a doorway into evil. When those fanciful doors of temptation opens with lots of juicy and appetizing promises, learn how to resist it because you could wake up the next morning realizing you are into evil. Once a door of temptation is entered into, it leads into different department of evils.

Food for thought: "Deliver us from all evil..." Is not a common prayer.

Prayer: ```Lord help our weaknesses. Give us the grace to resist temptations and to obey your voice at all times in Jesus name.```
