LESSON 46.
The Lord's Prayer.
The Seventh Petition And The Conclusion.
Which is the Seventh Petition?
_Our Father who art in heaven, deliver us from evil._
What does this mean?
_We pray in this petition, as the sum, of all that our Father in heaven
would deliver us from every evil of body and soul, property and honor,
and finally, when our last hour has come, grant us a blessed end, and
graciously take us from this vale of tears to Himself in heaven._
Which is the Conclusion of the Lord's Prayer?
_For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.
Amen._
What is meant by the word "Amen"?
_That I should be certain that these petitions are acceptable to our
Father in heaven, and heard; for He Himself has commanded us so to pray,
and has promised to hear us. Amen, Amen, that is, yea, yea, it shall be
so._
1. _"But deliver us from evil." "We pray in this petition, as the sum
of all";_ in this petition we sum up all the others. We include in the
word _"evil"_ our misfortunes and troubles of every kind, all our wants
and needs: all the ailments of our _body,_ such as sickness and the
like; everything that is hurtful to our _soul,_ sin with all its fearful
consequences; anything that injures or destroys our _property,_ such as
is done by fire, water, or bad, evil-minded men; whatever harms our
_honor,_ loss of our good name through lies and calumnies, etc. All
these things we sum up in the word _evil._
