Pray
The Fight against Evil
Many things are happening in the world today. Senseless killing, loss of life, tragedy that affects all of us. But it's time to remember that our battle is not against flesh and bone - we are fighting against the forces of evil. And to fight - we need to suit up and pray. Pray for our countries, our leaders, our unity - and pray that we stand firm against the evil one.
10"Finally, let the mighty strength of the Lord make you strong. 11 Put on all the armor that God gives, so you can defend yourself against the devil's tricks. 12 We are not fighting against humans. We are fighting against forces and authorities and against rulers of darkness and powers in the spiritual world. 13 So put on all the armor that God gives. Then when that evil day[a] comes, you will be able to defend yourself. And when the battle is over, you will still be standing firm.
14 Be ready! Let the truth be like a belt around your waist, and let God's justice protect you like armor. 15 Your desire to tell the good news about peace should be like shoes on your feet. 16 Let your faith be like a shield, and you will be able to stop all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Let God's saving power be like a helmet, and for a sword use God's message that comes from the Spirit.
18 Never stop praying, especially for others. Always pray by the power of the Spirit. Stay alert and keep praying for God's people. "
Ephesians 6:10-18 CEV
