Lord, don’t let us cower in fear of what is to come, but give us courage to stand strong, to love beyond borders and barriers, prejudices and pain. To fight in Your mighty power for the things of Your heart. To bear up under our trials as good soldiers. To trust in You through every circumstance, knowing You are doing something greater, no matter what harm we see the enemy doing. Teach us to wear our armor well. To wield the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, empowered to defeat the enemy, especially in the battlefield of our minds. Be our Protector, O God, as we fight on Your side for what is right and good. Strengthen us to stand, no matter how many stand against us.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our 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. Therefore put on the full armor of God,so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, 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. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
