Putting On The Headgear Of Salvation – Eph. 6:17
– 9 –
Dear God, I take by faith the helmet of salvation. I recognize my salvation is through the person of Your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. I intentionally cover my mind with Him, with the power of His name, and I desire that He put His mind in me [Philippians 2:5-11].
Let Jesus’s thoughts be my thoughts; I open my mind fully AND ONLY to the control of the Lord Jesus. Help me to continually be replacing my own selfish thoughts and attitudes with the pure ones of Your Son. I reject every projected thought and suggestion of Satan and his angel demons, and request instead the mind of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Grant to me the wisdom to discern thoughts from the world, from the old patterns of my sinful nature, and from Satan’s kingdom. Help me pay no attention whatsoever to any of them!
I praise you, Heavenly Father, that I may know the mind of Christ as I continually resupply and hide Your Word in my heart and mind. Open my heart to more fully love Your Word. Grant me the capacity to remember large portions of it. May Your Word always be surrounding and guarding my mind like a helmet of strength and protection which Satan’s projected thoughts cannot penetrate. Forgive me when I neglect to aggressively own the salvation always available to me. Help me fulfill the daily discipline of Christian service so I can fully take advantage of the incredible benefits of Your salvation, O God.
I lay these things before You in the precious name of my Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
