Dressing Yourself in the Full Armor of God

A Prayer for Dressing Yourself in the Full Armor of God
According to Ephesians 6:10-17

"Finally, I will be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might:
I will put on the full armor of God, that I may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
For my struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore, I take up the full armor of God, that I may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything to stand firm.
I stand firm therefore, having girded my loins with Truth, and having put on the breastplate of Righteousness, and having shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of Peace; in addition to all, taking up the shield of Faith with which I will be able to extinguish all the flaming missiles of the evil one. And I take the helmet of Salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
With all prayer and petition I will pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, I will be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, and pray on my behalf, that utterance will be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador, and that I may speak boldly as I ought to speak. In the name of Jesus Christ, my Savior, Amen."
