Armor of God

Heavenly Father, I put on the full armor of God, that I may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For my struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. I PUT ON THE BELT OF TRUTH: Lord, gird me with Your truth. Expose every lie of the enemy. Let me walk in honesty and integrity. Your Word is truth, and the truth sets me free. I PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS: Lord, guard my heart with Your righteousness. Not my own, but the righteousness of Christ that covers me. Protect my emotions, my desires, and my will from the arrows of the enemy. I PUT ON THE SHOES OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE: Lord, let me walk in Your peace today. Wherever my feet tread, let Your kingdom come. Give me readiness to share the Gospel and to bring Your peace to every situation. I TAKE UP THE SHIELD OF FAITH: Lord, strengthen my faith. With it I extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one — every doubt, every fear, every temptation, every lie. I trust in You completely. I PUT ON THE HELMET OF SALVATION: Lord, protect my mind. Guard my thoughts. Let me think only on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. I reject every intrusive thought from the enemy. I TAKE UP THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT: Lord, Your Word is my weapon. It is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword. I stand on Your promises and declare Your truth over my life. Father, with this full armor I take my stand. I am strong in You and in Your mighty power. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. Through Christ who strengthens me, I am more than a conqueror. Amen. — Based on Ephesians 6:10-18
