When the enemy shoots his fiery arrows, will you be ready?

You know how in movies that portray ancient battles, there would be archers that shoot flaming arrows over the city they're trying to capture? The soldiers on the inside of the city are so busy trying to put out fires that they're distracted from the enemy line that is advancing and trying to barge through the gate.

Well, it was a common tactic back in the day and Scripture says that there's a very similar strategy that the enemy uses against us. His fiery arrows are pointed at us so that we might be so busy chasing down little things that we forget the main thing.

We take our eyes off of Jesus because we're so busy putting out little fires. But God has given us armor to counter the enemy's strategy: the Shield of Faith.

This spring on the Prayers of REST Podcast we are praying through the Armor of God as we rest in the victory of Christ. Join us each week as we:

R - Recite God's Goodness
E - Express Your Neediness
S - Seek His Stillness
T - Trust His Faithfulness

To help you continue praying through the Armor of God day by day, we’ve created a special resource just for you: the Armor of God Scripture Cards! These Scripture cards offer you 20 Bible verses to help you stand in the victory of Jesus every day. And, as an added bonus, you’ll also receive a 5-Day Devotional on the Armor of God as well.

You'll find these Scripture Cards in our online shop or you can get free access to them when you become a Patreon Prayer Partner at the $10 and up level, along with lots of other resources to help you grow in your prayer life available to all our prayer partners.

This season we're also excited to bring you monthly giveaways in partnership with our friends at 10ofThose.com! Find more information and enter to win this month's giveaway at patreon.com/prayersofrest today.
