In the Lord's Prayer (Luke 11) the sentence "Deliver us from evil" could correctly be translated "Bring us not into testing." Jesus knows that testing is inevitable for any disciple of Christ.
It is possible to be completely within the will of God and still face hardship.
In such moments our faith is on trial. In such times God is at work within your heart to bring about His likeness in you!
The One who is all-powerful is able to deliver us!
He is our Deliverer!
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. I Corinthians 10:13 (NIV)
You may pray "Lord, send me another way. But if that is not to be, You are my Deliverer."
God is not alarmed at the things that come against you.
To win the battle in spiritual warfare we must
1) Know the Word.
In whatever situation you are in, what does the Word say? The Word will set you free.
2) Plead the Blood.
Jesus shed his precious blood for your salvation. This provision is the way out of any circumstance the enemy may throw at you.
