Luke 11:1-4 RBV
In Luke 11:3 the disciples were taught to say, "Give us day by day our daily bread" in contrast to Matthew's account, Matt 6:11, "Give us this day our daily bread"
--> We can ask Our Father In Heaven to provide for our daily needs everyday, in contrast to asking for "this day" or today as recorded in Matthew.
Also in Luke 11: 4b, the disciples were taught to say, "And do not lead us into temptation (this word πειρασμόν is also translated as "trials" or "testing" in James 1:12 and 1Peter 4:12)
Some translations, including the Revised Berkeley version that I'm reading this morning, adds "but deliver us from the evil one".
--> We can pray for deliverance from Satan, the Devil himself, not just from some evil circumstances, set-backs or difficulties.
So the next time we say the Lord's prayer in our own quiet time, we can pray,
Give us each day our daily bread
And also
Deliver us from the Evil One.
