Are you aware of spiritual warfare?
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. Ephesians 6:11
Mighty God,
As I’ve been dealing with some technology tangles
that have me fussing and fuming,
I’ve realized this could be spiritual attack.
I pray for myself and for all my fellow prayer warriors
who are facing a battle with the “cosmic powers”
and the “spiritual forces of evil” (Ephesians 6:12).
Help us, Lord,
to battle in your strength
against these forces,
because you have provided a full set of armor,
and because we’re too weak and frail to fight it in our own strength.
Your belt of truth holds us secure;
your breastplate of righteousness defends against false accusations;
your gospel shoes give us the peace of your shalom;
your shield of faith catches flaming lies;
your helmet of salvation keeps us safe forevermore;
your Spirit’s sword, your Holy Word, steadies us in true truth;
and last but definitely not least,
the prayers of the saints keep us upright.
Lord, strengthen us
so that we may continue to share the good news
of our only hope:
Jesus’ conquering name. Amen.
Read Ephesians 6:10-20.
