New International Version

PRAYER DIRECTION
Before Paul taught about the armor of God, he first reminded us that our battle is spiritual, not physical. When we keep this in mind, it’s much easier to surrender our daily battles to God in prayer. What “battle” are you currently facing in life that needs to be surrendered to God in prayer?

PRAYER
