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.
