Thursday, February 9—Ephesians 6:10-13
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
- pray for God’s protection of us as individuals, families and congregation
- pray that we would find our strength in the Lord and not in ourselves
- pray for keen awareness of the spiritual realm and that Satan opposes us as he opposes Christ
- pray that we would stand against Satan’s accusations by standing in the freedom of the gospel
- pray that we would stand against Satan’s temptations by standing in the power of our new life in Christ
- pray that we would stand against Satan’s deceptions by standing on the Word of God, well acquainted with truth, practitioners of its principles and precepts
