Praying Scripture

When my human words fail, I turn to the Word of God and pray scripture. Below is a prayer resource we included in our 24/3 "Powerhouse" prayer guide. Why not pray it for yourself?

“Hi, it’s me again Lord.
It is my joy to stand again in Your presence in the name of Jesus today, as I come to be clothes in Your spiritual armour.
I now put on the Helmet of Salvation and cover my mind, my will and my intellect with your helmet. I bring every thought into captivity and place myself under the covering of the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ ~ whose I am and whom I serve.
I put on the Breastplate of Righteousness. Your righteousness that covers my heart and my spirit.
I put on the Belt of Truth and pull it tight. Father, let the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be absolutely acceptable in Your sight, o Lord ~ for You are my Strength and my Redeemer.
I encase my feet in the Shoes of the Preparation of the Gospel of Peace and I determine that wherever I tread today, I will leave a trail of Your peace.
I hold in my right hand Your Shield of Faith, by which Your Word says I can quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
Now dear Father, I stand clothed in Your armour. I stand in Your might.
I plead the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ over me and my family this day and I thank you for covering me.”

AMEN

~ based on Ephesians 6:10-20
