Deliver me from evil.

This is a direct and powerful prayer, echoing the very words Jesus taught us to pray: "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil" (Matthew 6:13).

This cry for salvation from evil is a plea for protection from both the external attacks of the devil and the internal temptations of our own sinful nature. It is a prayer God loves to answer.

"The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life."

- Psalm 121:7 (ESV)

"But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one."

- 2 Thessalonians 3:3 (ESV)

A Prayer for Deliverance from Evil

Heavenly Father,

I cry out to You in the mighty name of Jesus. I cannot save myself from the evil that surrounds me and the sin that wars within me. I need You.

Please, save me from evil.

· Save me from the schemes of the evil one. Surround me with Your angels. Be a wall of fire around me. Let no weapon formed against me prosper.

· Save me from my own sinful desires. Where my heart is tempted to wander, guard it. Where my mind is vulnerable to lies, renew it. Where my flesh is weak, be my strength.

· Save me from the evil in this world. Protect me from harm, violence, and the plans of wicked people. Hide me in the shadow of Your wings.

I put on the full armor of God today. I claim the power of the blood of Jesus over my life. You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.

Deliver me, O Lord. Save me, for I am Yours.

In Jesus' powerful and delivering name, Amen.

A Poem: "Save Me From Evil"

"Save Me From Evil"

The evil lurks, it prowls, it waits,

Outside my heart,outside my gates.

It whispers lies,it seeks to kill,

To bind my life to its dark will.

And in my heart, a traitor sleeps,

A promise that it cannot keep.

It draws me to the mire and clay,

And leads my willing soul astray.

So I cry out, with all my breath,

From present and eternal death.

Save me from evil,Lord, I pray,

Be my salvation,Lord, today.

Pull me back from the precipice edge,

A sacred,solemn, holy pledge.

Place Your angels round my way,

To guard and keep me through the day.

Cover me with Your own hand,

In You alone,I'll safely stand.

For You're the rock,the mighty tower,

My saving,keeping, gracious power.

Save me from evil, be my shield,

My soul's great battle,You will wield.

I trust in You,and You alone,

To bring me safely to Your throne.

May you feel the tangible protection and deliverance of God surrounding you. He is your ever-present help in trouble and your sure salvation.
