Keep Them from the Evil Terry Marr

Keep them from the Evil will awaken your senses to why we have to go through the test and trials of life and are expected not only to endure but to thrive. If you are like me, I thought after learning the Lord's Prayer in the Bible, I had received a free pass to fun in the sun and rides on the celestial clouds. As I have grown in the things of God, I know when Jesus declared he would "keep them from evil," he was telling us to get ready for some of the most extreme times in our lives. We are not to look for a free pass from all the conflict in the world, or even from the raging storms within our very souls, but we are to look to the "hills from where our help comes from." Father God has equipped us with everything we need to overcome the world as the mighty sons of God he has intended. To accomplish this, we must prepare ourselves inside and out to withstand the struggles that befall us and having done all to "stand."
