God’s Peace in the Presence of Evil
How can we have God’s peace in the presence of evil? When we are living in a broken world, occupied and influenced by evil, how do we trust God and have peace?
Jesus taught us to pray in The Lord’s Prayer, “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” (Matthew 6:13, ESV).
There are temptations and there is evil in the world, but God will lead us through our temptation and will deliver us from evil when we come to him in prayer.
We can have God’s peace, even in the presence of evil, knowing that God will lead us and God will deliver us when we cry out to him.
May we have God’s presence and peace, even in the face of temptation and evil, as we trust God and cry out to him in prayer to lead us and to deliver us from all evil.
In Christ alone, Robbie
A Collect For Peace: “O God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know you is eternal life and to serve you is perfect freedom: Defend us, your humble servants, in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in your defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
