Deliverance From Evil

We often pray: "...deliver us from evil...", but have we ever prayed: "...deliver evil from us..."?

Perhaps if we prayed more in this way, we should see more victories and deliverances, as we witnessed last night, and perhaps we should witness them way sooner than the evil continuing on for an extended period of time?     --     jfn - 5/2/2011

As we accept what God is giving us, whether pleasing or painful, do we look at the face of God and into the eyes of Jesus and experience the love in His heart for us?

When we give our problems over to Jesus, do we look at His nail-pierced hands and remember all that He suffered on our behalf?

How / why is it that we so easily forget His greatest proofs of His love, by the look in His eyes and the effects of His suffering, and begin to accuse Him of forgetting about us and blaming Him for our circumstances?

Do we REALLY believe that He made His Son SUFFER THAT MUCH before, and now He's going to just FORGET ABOUT US? He wouldn't be GOD if He did!!!     --     jfn - 5/2/2011
