The Whole Armor of God- A Prayer

I was reading one of my journals from India, and I came across this prayer from back in November, and I thought I would share it.

"Right here, right now, I choose to put on the whole armor of God.  The armor David had on when he defeated Goliath.  I choose to gird myself with truth.  I am loved.  I have been chosen.  God the Father delights in me.  He wants me.  I am wanted.  I have a purpose.  To my Father, I am of great worth.  I put on the breastplate of righteousness.  By the blood of Jesus Christ, I am seen as right before God, the only true judge.  I put on the helmet of salvation.  I take up the shield of faith.  I transfer my faith from myself to Jesus Christ.  I take up the sword of the Spirit, the word of God.  Show me how to fight.  Strengthen my hands for battle so that I can bend a bow of bronze.  *Ting*"

May we choose to put on the whole armor of God each day, so that we may stand in the evil day.  Brothers and sisters, let us put on truth, the truth of what God thinks of us.  Let us put on the breastplate of righteousness, not our righteousness, the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
