But first, put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
Ephesians 6:11

You always want to be battle-ready to face the day. Since both your authority and your identity are in Christ, you can confidently put on your battle-ready armor right now.

Father God, I put on the belt of truth; Jesus is the Truth.
I put on the breastplate of righteousness; Jesus is my Righteousness.
I put on the shoes of the gospel; Jesus is the Good News.
I take up the shield of faith; Jesus is the Faithful One.
I put on the helmet of salvation; Jesus is my Savior.
I take up the sword of the Spirit; Jesus is the Word of God.
I take all prayer; Jesus is my Intercessor.
I stand complete in Christ, and the evil one cannot touch me!

This daily Christ-encountering, fire-starter is not intended to replace your daily Bible reading and prayer time, but rather to motivate you to spend extended time in His presence.
