6th Petition: 3 Vital Presuppositions

The 6th petition is another reason why humility is the essence of true Christian prayer.

If we are going to pray this petition rightly and not be guilty of hypocrisy, 3 vital presuppositions are necessary.

1. Our ever present weakness. We are weak and prone towards sin and even as christians we are dependent upon God's sovereign grace of strength and power to bring us through all trials and temptations. Second Presupposition:
2. Our ever present danger. We are always in danger. Our enemies satan and the world are enough to ruin the best christian and couple that with the inward battle of the flesh.
   The Third presupposition is 3. Our ever present Father who is willing to oversee and override what would necessarily ruin us
   and use to our good.
   Check these in your own life it will make praying this petition personal and meaningful.
