The Prayer, Spiritual Armor of Prayer

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 is able to put out, All the fiery darts of the enemy.

And the sword of the Spirit, Which is Your Word, O Lord.

Father may the love, With which You have loved Jesus, Be in us and may Jesus be in us.

We ask You for the grace, Of a servant heart.

Amen.
