Praying the Armor
Yesterday, I showed you how I would pray through Ephesians. Chapter 6 is one of those passages that I find to be an incredible source of prayer as I seek to pray through the Spiritual Armor. Open your Bible and follow along with me in Ephesians 6:10ff. I’ll just write out how I might pray this passage and hopefully you can do the same thing in your own words.
Father, you tell me to be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might…I confess I am weak and need your strength. Holy Spirit, I ask you to strengthen me. I know that I am to put on the whole armor of God. That means I need the armor…that means I’m in a battle and here I find that I am not wrestling against flesh and blood. So much of our battles are against flesh and blood, but we are to fight against the rulers, the authorities, and cosmic powers of this present darkness…no wonder I need your armor and your strength.
Jesus, I hate your enemy and I’m sorry when I fight on his side. Help me to take up your armor and withstand in the evil day we call today…to stand firm in you by your strength.
To stand strong I need your belt of truth…there is so much error out here…so many things that go against your Word…help me to fight in your truth and with your truth…
You pick from there, but work at it and I think you’ll find it becoming more and more familiar, easier, and it will be a blessing
