Armor
Sunday, October 29, 2023
Oh, God, I need you. Every breath is yours. Let me stand amidst your faithfulness. Me, a sinner with conviction, you created. With you, God, through your blood of salvation, there is the promise of eternal life. I cling to you, and I need you in every breath.
God, don't forget me. Fill this vessel with virtuous light. Help my eyes to see, my heart to feel, and my hands and feet to be available for your ministry song. Allow my reverence for you to prevail.
Be my armor.
For this reason take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand. Stand, therefore, with truth like a belt around your waist, righteousness like armor on your chest, and your feet sandaled with readiness for the gospel of peace. In every situation take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit—which is the word of God. Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints. Ephesians 6:13-18
