READ: Ephesians 6:16-18a

In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. [Ephesians 6:16-18a ESV]

CONSIDER: Having been transformed by the gospel, believers must live in truth, with a solid grasp of the word of God, and the hope of salvation, praying dependently on God in everything.

THINK: What does this declare about God? What are God’s people being called to do? What assurance is given? How does the Word of God transform our hearts and lives and relationships?

PRAY: Pray these verses to God as a prayer. Pour out your heart in praise to God. Pray for others. Present needs to Him.
