WARRIOR'S PRAYER

HEAVENLY FATHER,
YOUR WARRIOR PREPARES FOR BATTLE,
TODAY I CLAIM VICTORY OVER SATAN BY PUTTING ON
THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD!

I PUT ON THE GIRDLE OF TRUTH!
MAY I STAND FIRM IN THE TRUTH OF YOUR WORD
SO I WILL NOT BE A VICTIM OF SATAN'S LIES.

I PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS!
MAY IT GUARD MY HEART FROM EVIL
SO I WILL REMAIN PURE AND HOLY,
PROTECTED UNDER THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.

I PUT ON THE SHOES OF PEACE!
MAY I STAND FIRM IN THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL
SO YOUR PEACE WILL SHINE THROUGH ME
AND BE A LIGHT TO ALL I ENCOUNTER.

I TAKE THE SHIELD OF FAITH!
MAY I BE READY FOR SATAN'S FIERY DARTS OF
DOUBT, DENIAL AND DECEIT
SO I WILL NOT BE VULNERABLE TO SPIRITUAL DEFEAT.

I PUT ON THE HELMET OF SALVATION!
MAY I KEEP MY MIND FOCUSED ON YOU
SO SATAN WILL NOT HAVE A STRONGHOLD ON MY
THOUGHTS.

I TAKE THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT!
MAY THE TWO-EDGED SWORD OF YOUR WORD
BE READY IN MY HANDS
SO I CAN EXPOSE THE TEMPTING WORDS OF SATAN.

BY FAITH YOUR WARRIOR HAS PUT ON
THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD!
I AM PREPARED TO LIVE THIS DAY IN SPIRITUAL VICTORY!

AMEN
