Somehow…in the fiercest of life’s battles…prayer is often our last resort…
“…praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints”
Ephesians 6:18
We have been meandering our way through Ephesians 6:10-20 (see previous days’ posts). As we come to the end of learning about our spiritual armor…how not to leave home without it…we come to…prayer.
I can think of no better way to say it than to quote Dick Eastman from the “New Spirit Filled Life Bible.” I can’t tell you how often I have referred to his words here:
“To put on the armor of God is to prepare for battle. However, prayer is not so much a weapon, or even a part of the armor, as it is the means by which we engage in the battle itself and the purpose for which we are armed. Prayer is the battle itself, with God’s Word (see yesterday’s post) being our chief weapon employed against Satan during our struggle.”
Enough said.
