Today's Passage: Ephesians 6:10-18a

Today's Prayer:

Our great defender and our strong tower, it is in you we have ability to stand. 

Because of all that you have done, we can stand. 

So often I remember these verses from times of my childhood – 

times in my Sunday school classes. 

Yet, as my mind wanders to these sweet memories and songs, 

may I be reminded how powerful these verses truly are for me today. 

Just as you clothed Adam and Eve in the Garden, so you clothe us. 

Now, not to cover our shame, but to bear arms with the seal of Christ. 

The insignia of Jesus is on our chest and shield. 

You, Holy Father, equip and clothe us. 

You provide these items that we need to defend the flaming arrows. 

You arm us with the power of your word, that is like a two-sided sword. 

May we remember your provisions in times of need. 

May we lean into your protection. 

May we remember that in you we stand. 

It’s in you we stand. 

May we stand and remember who we are, for we more deeply know who you are. 

Amen.
