Prayer for Spiritual Armor

Heavenly Father,

We ask You today for Your truth

As a belt tight around our waists.

We put on the zeal

To announce Your good news of peace

As shoes for our feet.

We put on Your righteousness, O Christ,

As our breastplate,

And the hope of salvation

As a helmet for our head.

Father, we take up faith as a shield

Which will put out all the fiery darts of the enemy.

We take up the sword of the Spirit,

Which is Your Word Itself, O Lord.

Father, may the love with which You have loved Jesus

Be in us, and may Jesus be within us always.

We ask You for the grace of a servant’s heart.

Amen.
