A Daily Prayer

Jesus, I want to be vigilant in equipping myself today as I battle the spiritual forces of evil.  Though I wage war in this present and evil generation I have a body guard in the presence of the Holy Spirit Who gives me power over the enemy of my soul.  Today, I stand against the devil’s schemes because I take on the full armor of God; the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God.  As I prayerfully take on this spiritual armor I am fully equipped with the necessary provisions to overcome discouragement and defeat.  Instead I am a conqueror who stands triumphant by Your grace, Lord Jesus Christ!  Amen.
