Genesis 2:9
|
Deliver us from evil, O Lord. May we not eat of the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil by defining for ourselves what is good and what is evil and
then doing what is right in our own eyes. May we not eat of that tree, O
Lord,
for to eat of that tree is death. May we instead eat of the tree of life by
looking to Jesus in faith that He might deliver us from our evil ways, and
then reveal to us what is good and enable us to do it.

our lives.
