Day 15 – Praying the Armour

“Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.” Ephesians 6:18 NLT

After Paul gives a description of God’s Armour, he ends by saying to always pray in the Spirit and on EVERY OCCASION. This always includes your home too – and everything that might happen in the boundaries of your home. He urges us to stay alert and persistent in our prayers for ALL believers. We, as the home-keepers, know to stay alert and persistent. So, let’s pray the Armour of God over those in our home.

Prayer for the Armour of God over your family

Father, today I pray for each member in our home to be equipped with Your Armour. Girdle them with the belt of truth to seek and see Your truth in everything. To have the discernment to make truthful choices according to Your Word and to be true to who they are in Jesus Christ. Guard them with the breastplate of righteousness so their hearts and souls are protected with the true righteousness of Jesus Christ. May they wear the shoes of peace wherever they go and not be ashamed of the Gospel. May they be peacemakers in this warring world. Strengthen their faith with Your shield to protect themselves and ensure them that the importance of their faith in You can move mountains. Remind them of their salvation through Jesus Christ with the helmet and protect their minds so that their thoughts are centred on You and not the world. Give them a love to study Your Word and use it responsibly as a sword to cut between lies and truth. Thank You, Lord, for dressing my family in Your divine armour. Amen.

Love, Pastor Iriza
