Praying for My Family Part 2Sample

OUR FIGHTING RESPONSE: STAND FIRM!

In all of the schemes and tools of Satan, we learn in Ephesians that the best way to fight back is to stand firm. This seems counterintuitive, but Jesus is the one who fights our battles. He defeated sin on the cross, and He will return again for Satan’s final defeat! Jesus asks us to stand firm in the truths of who God is and who we are in Him as our way to fight against Satan. Paul gives us the visual of the Roman soldier’s armor but changes the pieces to represent elements of our faith that help us to stand firm and offer us protection. Let’s pray that we and our families would put on the armor of God and stand firm in our faith, in the hope that we can see victory in our lives and that our families would grow stronger together and closer to the Lord.

Ask Yourself:
- How do the elements of the armor of God help my family to stand firm against Satan’s attacks?

Pause to Pray for your family: Use today’s scriptures to pray that your family would put on the armor of God and stand firm against the enemy’s attacks. Use this prompt to get started -

Lord Jesus, we need your protection against the enemy through the armor of God to stand firm...may we put on the belt of truth, knowing who you are and who you have made us to be...and put on the helmet of salvation, always remembering the victory in Jesus... Amen.
