Pray through the armor of god: 6 Minute grind:
The belt of truth. “Tighten the belt of truth around the core of who I am in You. May Your truth be the foundation of my confidence, hope and trust.”
The breastplate of righteousness. Today I put on righteousness as my body armor. Right standing with You leads to right living empowered by You. As a soldier’s breastplate protects his chest from an enemy’s attack, so right living guards my heart against the assaults of the enemy.
Feet fitted with peace. “Fit my feet with Your peace so that I am sure-footed and can stand strong. When I enter hand-to-hand combat in spiritual warfare, make my feet strong. When I need to sidestep the enemy or run right at a problem, keep my feet on Your path so my ankles do not give way. When I just need to stand in faith, make me immovable.”
The shield of faith. “I take up the shield of faith to protect my entire life. Just as a shield protects a soldier from attack so my faith in You extinguishes the spiritual onslaught coming against me. Doubt, lies, despair, confusion, anxiety, fear and any other “flaming arrow” has no power over me. I put my confident trust in You and You alone!”
The helmet of salvation. “Just as a soldier places a helmet on their head when they face impending danger, I place the helmet of salvation over my mind. I am protected when I face attacks on my intellect, will and thoughts. I do not fear where I stand with You.”
The sword of the Spirit. “Your word is what I bring to the battlefield. When I am assaulted by the enemy’s attack I fight back like Jesus did—with Your word. Your word is revealed to me by the Holy Spirit in my heart. May I be a student of it and allow it to read me as much as I read it. My life is only a moment in time, but Your word endures forever.”
