“Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints.” (Eph 6:18) We’re asking our OCF family to “armor” up by committing to pray daily, according to Paul’s list of armor. The following are suggested prayers based on each piece of armor. The prayers are simple, but they are profound reminders of what God has done for us, expressions of dependence on Him, and commitments to do our part.
