Where ever we look around, there is Spiritual Warfare going on. So, this is a prayer--straight from the Bible--to get dressed everyday for it. It comes from Ephesians 6:10-20.
Lord, dress us with the belt of truth buckled around our waists--that we would be able to discern immediately the truth from the lies. Dress us with the breastplate of righteousness in place--that our core and our hearts would be protected. Dress us with our feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace--that we would know we are walking in grace and holiness and we would trample on the lies of serpents.
I pray that we would take up the shield of faith with which we can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. I pray that we would take up the helmet of salvation--that we would have clear, mind of Christ thinking and that no lies would be able to penetrate our armor. I pray that we would take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God--that we would be able to break all chains, bust down any walls, and demolish any strongholds.
And finally, Lord, we pray in the Spirit for a hedge of protection for all our brothers and sisters in Christ, especially for those in church leadership, as they are the most visible and desired targets of the enemy. Lord I pray that we would be steadfast and true to your word and that, by your strength alone, we would be able to stand our ground against the enemy.
In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.
Thank you again my friend, for your writings, they make a big difference in my life! Have a wonderful day.
