The People's Prayer - Deliver Us from Evil

Nadiyka Gerbish is a Ukrainian bestselling author, podcaster and human rights advocate. From the warzone she called her home, she reflects on the words 'Deliver us from evil'.

Nadiyka Gerbish is a Ukrainian bestselling author, podcaster and human rights advocate. She knows closer than most of us the evils both of war and of totalitarianism, but she has also seen goodness and light amongst the wreckage. The hope is fragile.

And so we turn to the closing words of the Lord’s Prayer, β€œDeliver us from evil”, a petition resounding through the centuries and a cry that Christ on the Cross could have called out… but rather he faced the pain and the suffering inflicted upon him so that good could come from the wounds.

In this series six people reflect on Jesus' ministry, teaching and Passion from a deeply personal perspective focussing on words from The Lord's Prayer. These are words shared across Christian denominations but they go further; they are part of our culture and tradition. They express universal themes that speak to the hopes and dreams of humanity, a cry to fulfil both our spiritual and physical needs.

It could really be thought of as The People’s Prayer.
