ARMOR AND SHIELD OF PROTECTION

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for another opportunity to get it right.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you all the honor, praise, and glory. They know that today was not promised; therefore, they push through their adversities, knowing that, with you, no weapons formed against them will prosper.

Father, help all to adorn themselves with your armor and shield of faith, putting on the breastplate of righteousness and the helmet of salvation.

Moreover, help them to understand that putting you first is essential to making it in this world. Help them to understand that being prepared is essential, for there will be troubled and unbearable days; however, your love will continue to guide, direct, and protect them through their darkest experiences.

“Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth and having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.” Ephesians 6:13-18

WHO DICTATES YOUR WALK IN LIFE?

They know that there are many who see their kindness as a weakness, failing to realize that the love that they have for all is indeed essential, as Jesus Christ says, “Love your neighbors as you love yourself.”

Father, help all to evaluate themselves in accordance with your holy word and apply such understanding. Help them to not allow others to dictate their walk in life.

“I am the LORD your God, who teaches you for your benefit, who directs you in the way you should go.” Isaiah 48:17

BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST!

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you all the praise as well.

They know that their not-so-good days are only bearable because of you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Therefore, they continue to push through their pain, obstacles, depression, challenges, and anxiety knowing that you have never forsaken them and will always come through for them.

Father, help all to realize that you, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are the reason for their existence, deliverance, perseverance, and hope. Help all to know that once they accept Jesus Christ as their Savior through words and deeds, they are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ.

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.” Ephesians 1:7

“For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.” Peter 1:18-19

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for continued blessings and favor.

Despite not deserving such favor, “You thought that we were worthy, so you came and changed our lives, you thought we were worth keeping, so you cleaned us up inside, you thought we were worthy to die for, so you sacrificed your life, so we could be free, we could be whole, and we can tell everyone we know.”

Father, help all to realize how blessed they are despite what they experience.

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
