1.6 Temptation and deliverance from evil

One of the things that will derail my heart for Kingdom Prayer more than anything else, is my battle with temptation. Is there someone in the family of God with whom you can be held accountable in your areas of temptation?

Notice the prayer “lead us not into temptation” is a proactive prayer. Something to be prayed before the time of temptation.

When you’ve fallen headlong into sin, notice also that Jesus tells us to pray that God will deliver us from that evil.

Prayer prompts and discussion starters:
  • Ask God to give you direction as you pray. Take time to listen.
  • Pray about your greatest areas of temptation, ask the Lord for protection in advance.
  • Pray for other believers in their areas of temptation.
  • Pray for accountability partners and encouragers to come alongside believers in their areas of struggle.
  • Pray for God to deliver us from evil.
  • Pray for discernment that we can recognize the evil from which we must flee.
  • How can we encourage each other in these areas?
  • Insights (record a comment below):
