Ephesians 6; 1 Peter 1 & 3; Ephesians 6

Today, lord, in the spirit, my feet are shod with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. I’m ready to stand against the schemes of the devil. For by your grace I am knowledgeable now of his ways.

I prepare my mind for action, and I am sober-minded. I set my hope fully on your grace, father, that is brought to me through the revelation of Jesus, your Christ and my lord.

In my heart I sanctify the Lord Jesus as holy. I’m always prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks me for a reason for the hope that is in me, and to do that with gentleness and respect.

I pray to be filled and led with your holy spirit, father, so that, wherever I walk, folks will see Christ Jesus alive and clear.

My foundation in the gospel is solid so that I can withstand the circumstances that come at me in this lifetime, and having done all I can to be prepared, I can stand.
