In Touch Daily Devotional: Ephesians 6:13-18
This is a great visual. Thank you Lord.
First, I place the helmet of salvation on my head. Protect my mind and imagination. Guard my eyes, allowing no sin to creep in. Focus my thoughts on the things of God. Let the breastplate of righteousness keep my heart and emotions safe. I pray that I won’t be governed by my feelings, but by truth. Wrap Your Word around me like a belt. And safeguard me from error. I put on the sandals of peace to guide my steps. Plant my feet in Your truth. Empower me to stand firm against attack.
Guard my eyes and thoughts today with your helmet of salvation, and my eyes, keeping all things out that would dishonor you.

“Help me to read the Bible in a fresh, exciting way so I will always be ready to deflect attacks and pierce hearts with Your truth.”
really stuck out to me. I think it’s important to enjoy reading the Bible, not just something you do out of duty. And I really liked the idea of “deflecting” attacks. Again, it was a really good visual.
Dear Lord,
Empower me today. Only your armor will allow me to resist and deflect the attacks of my enemies. Grant me the strength and focus to keep you as the center of my life. Amen.
