Devotional Thought
The devil is a deceiver who seeks to dissuade us from trusting God and to influence us to do what is wrong. It is absolutely necessary that we guard our hearts and minds with the truth. Victory over the evil one requires immersion in God’s Word, obedience, trust in God, constant prayer, and the use of spiritual tools or weapons. Believers are encouraged to walk with God, seek his guidance, and actively resist negative spiritual influences.

Practical Moment
Below is a short prayer to put on the full armor of God.

“Heavenly Father, help me to prepare for every battle I may face. Help me to keep my focus on Jesus and to walk in his victory over the forces of evil. In obedience to Ephesians 6, I put on the armor of God. I put on the belt of truth. Help me to think true thoughts and conduct myself in ways that are truthful. I put on the breastplate of righteousness. Because of Jesus, I have been made righteous and can live in a righteous manner. I put on the sandals of the gospel of peace. My walk is grounded in the good news of salvation. Help me to live in a way that glorifies Jesus Christ and his work on the cross. I put on the shield of faith. Lord, I will trust you regardless of what the enemy does. You are in control of every situation in life. I put on the helmet of salvation. Protect my mind from the enemy’s deception and remind me of your great love and commitment to me. I take up the sword of the Spirit. Help me to be guided by the Spirit as I read, memorize, meditate on, and obey the Scriptures. Help me to keep your Word in my heart and on my lips. Finally, Lord, help me to pray in the Spirit on all occasions. Help me to be in constant communication with you and to follow your divine instructions. Amen.”
