Prayer for Defense

Lord, I come to You now needing defense against the wars that are raging on in my life.

I am being beaten emotionally and I know that the enemy is hard at work on me because I am hard at work serving You.

I cannot handle these trials on my own strength, I cannot defeat him on my own accord.

I need You now.

I choose right now to put on the full armor of God that I may be equipped with Your strength to overcome the obstacles hindering my freedom that come only through You.

Father help me to remember that I am not battling flesh and blood but against the enemy and darkness.

I put on the belt of TRUTH and the body armor of RIGHTEOUSNESS.

I put on the shoes of PEACE that comes from the good news that I have learned about You.

I hold up the shield of FAITH to stop the attempts that the devil is using to attack me.

I wear the helmet of SALVATION and I take on the sword of the SPIRIT which is the holy word of God.

With this armor I am prepared to stand strong regardless of what things may seem!

Thank You for equipping me with what I need to overcome satan in this world and to live my life devoted to You.

I praise Your holy name Lord for You alone are worthy to be praised!

I worship You Father and I thank You for sending Your Son to die for me!

Thank You Holy Spirit for empowering me to overcome this world!

In the MIGHTY name of JESUS I pray, AMEN!

Derived from Ephesians 6:10-17
