Today’s Bible reading reminded me of a thing I wrote to help me pray through the armor of God. I hope it is helpful to you too.
Praying on the armor….
· I know there is a war…
· I’m powerless against Satan’s evil schemes…
· I ask You for Your power today…
(“Be strong in the Lord” – a passive imperative)
(“Be strong in the Lord” – a passive imperative)
Help me Put on Your FULL Armor….
Character of Christ:
(The Belt of Truth)
Wrap your truth around me and make it such a part of me that I am the same in public as I am in private. Give me Your integrity today.
(The Breastplate of Righteousness)
Because you have made all that was wrong in me right, help me do what is right today no matter the cost. Give me Your nobility today.
Attitude of Christ:
(Gospel Boots)
Help me live today Ready to show Your grace to anyone, because of the peace you brought to me. To go where you tell me to go and stay where you tell me to stay…
(Shield of Faith)
Help me live by faith, trusting YOU for what I can’t see or understand. Empower me to trust you in such a way that the flames of the enemy’s accusations and temptations will be drenched and quickly extinguished by your living water…
(Helmet of Salvation)
Grant me Your salvation attitude so that I’ll find joyful confidence because I know I’m saved…. even when I feel so very lost and confused.
Presence of Christ:
(Sword of the Spirit)
As I spend time in your word today, I pray that I will carry your word into my day, finding guidance and moment by moment leadership in your Spirit. Help me be ready to use it as a weapon to defeat the enemy in face to face combat on the battlefield of life.
(Prayer)
I need you all the time Lord, so help me to PRACTICE YOUR PRESENCE; constantly acknowledging you, talking with you all the time, praying for other believers and the advancement of the Gospel into the life of one more soul in need of You today.
