Pain and hardship will certainly cause us to pray; sometimes even more than our needs and wants. But why do we continue finding ourselves in hard places, difficult places, even addicted places? We experience pain and hardship because we live in a broken world, and in an unseen war where there is an “evil one” against us. What do we do? The fourth way Jesus told us to pray is found in Matthew 6:13, and that is to “lead not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”
To be holy, we must live in a way that pleases God.
During the Passover meal, Jesus broke bread and pass around a cup saying, this is my body and blood which is given for you....
If we choose to unfollow Jesus, we are choosing to follow someone or something else instead.
