A Series of Prayer #3: Daily Victor Prayer

My Quiet Place

Daily Victor Prayer

This is a written prayer that I read in one of my devotional books I read a couple of years ago. I loved this prayer so much that I wrote it out on a notecard and vowed to pray it every morning of every day. It is based on many passages, but primarily from the Armor of God found in Ephesians 6:10-20. This prayer asks God for strength, protection, self-control, a godly perspective, and the proper mind set for the day. Christians enter a war zone every time they wake up. This is a battle cry, a fight prayer! 

Dear Lord,

With the Belt of Truth, may your truth rule in my heart and be in my mind and lips today. With the Breastplate of Righteousness, apart from you there is no righteousness, but through Jesus I have been "born again" and made righteous in your sight. May I live as a righteous person. With feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the Gospel of Peace, may I reflect the Gospel in my words and actions, that through me, with my every encounter, others may be drawn "one step closer to you". With the Shield of Faith, may I take you at your word concerning promises about the present and future. With the Helmet of Salvation, remind me that nothing can separate me from your love, that by grace I've been saved. In your grace, help me say "no" to all ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live a self-controlled, upright, and godly life. And with the Sword of the Spirit, the Bible, may your Holy Spirit reign in my life and bring to my mind just the right verses to be in my heart and on my lips; may I be "filled with the Spirit" and ready with Scripture. Finally, keep me in an attitude of prayer. May I "practice the presence of God" throughout the day. 

Amen.
