Armor of God prayer

Good morning Lord. Thank you for assuring me of victory today if I will but follow your battle plan. So today, I claim victory over anger, doubt, guilt, fear, lust, and impatience.

To prepare for the battle ahead, by faith I put on the belt of truth. The truth about you Lord, that your a sovereign God who knows everything about me both my strengths, and my weaknesses, and have promised not to allow me to be tempted beyond what I’m able. The truth about me Lord is that I’m a new creature in Christ, and have been set free from the power of sin. I am indwelt by the Holy Spirit who will guide me and warn me when danger is near. I’m your child, and nothing can separate me from your love. For you have a purpose for me this day. Someone share with, and, someone to love.

Next Lord by faith I put on the breastplate of righteousness. Through this I will guard my heart, and emotions. I will live today not by what I feel, but by faith. I will dwell on nothing but what is pleasing, and honoring to you.

Next Lord by faith I put on the sandals of the gospel of peace. I’m available to you Lord. Send me where you will. Lead me to those who need encouragement or love of some kind. I will not be hurried or rushed for my schedule is in your hands. I will not leave a trail of tension or apprehension, but I will leave tracks of peace and stability wherever I go.

Next Lord, I take up the shield of faith. My faith is in you, and you alone. Apart from you I can do nothing, with you I can do all things. For you have promised victory to those who walk in obedience to your word. So I claim victory now because I know there are fiery darts headed my way as I pray. Lord, you already know what they are and have already provided the way of escape.

Next Lord I put on the helmet of salvation. You know how Satan bombards my mind with evil thoughts, doubt, and fear. I put on this helmet that will protect my mind. I may feel the impact of his attacks, but nothing will penetrate this helmet. I will take every thought captive. I will dwell on nothing , but is right, good, and pleasing, to you.

Last I take up the sword of the spirit which is your word. Thank you for the precious gift of your word. It is strong and powerful, and able to defeat the greatest of Satan’s onslaught. Your word says that I’m not under obligation to flesh to obey its lust. Your word says that I’m free from the power of sin. Your word says he that is in me is greater than he that is in the world. Your word comforts me in times of sorrow, and teaches me in time of meditation. So Lord I go now rejoicing you have chosen me to represent you to this lost and dying world. May Satan and his hosts shudder as your power is made manifest in me. In Jesus name I pray amen.
