Daily I try to pray the following prayer. I put on the whole armor of God and prepare myself for the spiritual warfare that lies ahead. I have done this for over 25 years. It makes a great difference in my life. I encourage you to do it if you aren't already doing so. The following prayer is taken from Ephesians 6:10-20.
Lord, I am strong in you today and in your mighty power. I put on all of the armor of God so that I will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For I know my battles are not against people, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
Therefore, Father, I put on every piece of your armor so I will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle I will still be standing firm. I stand my ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. I put on shoes which is the peace that comes from the Good News so that I will be fully prepared. In addition, I hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. I put on salvation as my helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Lord, I pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Staying alert and I will be persistent in my prayers today for all believers everywhere. God give me the right words so I can boldly explain the Good News today as your Spirit leads me. Amen.
Have a great Thursday!
-Pastor
