9. How did Jesus teach us to pray for deliverance? Matthew 6:13.
NOTE: ‘Christ prayed to His Father on behalf of His followers, “I pray not that Thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldst keep them from the evil.” Sin and pollution abound on every hand, and daily, hourly, the prayer should ascend to heaven, “Deliver us from evil.” The offering of this prayer by one who realises his weakness makes the temptation of the enemy powerless.’ Signs of the Times, March 29, 1905.
10. What fact may give us confidence in times of temptation? 2 Peter 2:9, first part.
NOTE: ‘Earthly parents may not fully understand how much their children can endure, and lay upon them tasks too heavy for them; but not so your heavenly Father. He knows how weak and frail you are, and though the work of overcoming is a daily and hourly task, yet He will lay upon you no burden that you may not overcome by the help of Him who was tempted in all points as you are, and who knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation. If you are fully submitted to God, you may successfully resist the Devil and his wiles. Present yourselves a living sacrifice to God; lay all upon His altar; remember that He will not accept a lame sacrifice, but give Him the whole heart, and you will find the Lord faithful and true. He will give you grace to overcome and strength to stand in the midst of all the evils in these perilous times.’ A. M. A. Cornell: Review & Herald, February 5, 1861.
