Armor of God Prayer L Dear God, Heavenly
Father, please WRAP YOUR BELT OF TRUTH AROUND
US, C So that all we do today is governed by
the truth of your Holy Word.
2
L ARM US WITH THE BREASTPLATE OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS, so that the vital Christian organs
of our heart and lungs are protected
3
C So that everything we say today echoes with
the righteousness won for us through Christ's
suffering, death, and resurrection. L PLACE THE
SHOES OF THE GOSPEL ON OUR FEET, and help us
walk, march, and run to the rhythm of Your Gospel
beat,
4
C Sharing your love and our faith in You with
our family, friends, and neighbors. L HELP US
USE THE SHIELD OF FAITH
5
C Against all that the devil, the world, and
our own sinful self will try to do to destroy our
life-saving faith and our lives of daily
Christian living.
6
L Fill our heads with the positive things of
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
long-suffering, gentleness, faithfulness,
self-control, compassion, and forgiveness, C So
that the negative aspects of fear, doubt,
anger, resentment, jealously, self-pity, or pride
take no root in our lives.
7
L Then, PLACE THE HELMET OF SALVATION ON OUR
HEADS, C So that everything we think reflects
the Christlike qualities of salvation.
8
L GIVE US THE POWER TO SWING YOUR SWORD OF THE
SPIRIT, YOUR HOLY WORD, with such tenacity,
strength and accuracy
9
C That we can slice through all the temptations
and troubles, joys and sorrows, failures and
successes, and practical little details of daily
living to see Your Will and Your Way for our
lives, our families, and Your church. Amen.
