Put on the whole armor of God

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:10-12 Lord, help me to be strong in you, to arm myself with your Word, stand firm and be on my guard at all times. Please keep reminding me that prayer and faith are my strongest weapons in this world, O God, that with you at my side, I can be victorious, and can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Hate what is evil; cling to what is good

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.  Romans 12:9-10 Thank you Lord, for the amazing privilege you have given us to be able to come to you anytime with our prayers. I bring all my cares and burdens and lay them at your feet, O God, I ask that you take care of them and fill me with your Spirit and strengthen my faith. Help me love sincerely and live as you did, love as you did and cling to what is good, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. Colossians 2:6-7 Thank you Jesus, my Savior for laying aside your crown for my soul, for coming to this world to save us and giving us hope, joy and peace. Help me stay rooted and grounded in the riches of your amazing and unfailing love, O Lord, strengthen my faith and fill me with your Spirit that I may live in you, I pray. Amen

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord,  make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8 Almighty God, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth, and I thank you for the peace and hope you have given me and your wonderful promises. I thank you because I can lay down and sleep in peace knowing that everything is in your precocious hands, O Lord, I know your love for me and my loved ones is more that I can imagine and you always hear our prayers. Help me dwell in the safety of your embrace, trusting in you with all my heart, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

By grace you have been saved

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. Ephesians 2:4-5 Merciful Father, thank you for your amazing and great love for us, thank you for the hope you have given us in your Son, Jesus and for the forgiveness of our sins. I am thankful that I don't have to earn salvation and to know that it is by your grace that I have it. May the desire of my heart be to serve you, honor you, follow you  and trust in you each and every day, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Be made new in the attitude of your minds

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:22-24 Father God, I ask you to help me put away anything in my life that is ungodly, anything that is unrighteous and does not please you. Help me, O Lord, to be a new creation, to be Christ-like and to walk according to your teachings, I pray in Jesus name.  Amen

Listen to advice and accept discipline

Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise. Proverbs 19:20 Merciful Lord, Creator of all, thank you for letting your Holy Spirit reprimand me when I am wrong, thank you for leading me to repentance and for your amazing love and grace. May I willingly accept when your Spirit disciplines me with a grateful heart and may I receive wisdom and understanding as I walk in righteousness before you I pray in Jesus' name.
