“In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.”
Ephesians 6:16
Father God, you are worthy of my trust and reliance on you. You will never abandon me. Help me to adapt so my whole lifestyle accords with what You have asked me to do. As I act in faith, protect me from the enemy’s attacks. Teach me your promises, God – your firm truth that I can cling to as I act in boldness and courage. I trust you where you are leading, and in your power, help me push past fear, doubts, temptations, and insecurity.
May I keep my eyes and heart focused on you, Lord, so other distractions don’t take me away from what you want me to do. May I have a more comprehensive, clear, and accurate view of the faithfulness of my God, your ability, and your care and immense love for us. May my actions be reflective of what You say is true, God, because You keep Your covenant to those who love You and keep Your commands. Thank you, God. I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.

(As noted in my post “Armor of God” on 5/13/2023, I credit Priscilla Shirer for partially “writing” these prayers because they are the fruit of participating in her bible study “The Armor of God” last winter. There are probably phrases taken directly from the book that I didn’t cite because I originally wrote them to be used privately.)
