A prayer for your Quiet time

God,

Thank you for the Bible. Thank you for giving us your word. Thank you for giving us your promises. Thank you for giving us written instructions. Thank you for desiring to meet with us and spend time with us.

Forgive me for not always believing every word of what you wrote. Forgive me for not resting in your promises. Forgive me for not living my life as if I am a chosen, free, victorious child of the most high God. Forgive me for trying to go my own way and not always following your instructions.

God allow me to open your word to what you have for me to read today. God help me understand the context in which it was written and how you want me to apply it to my life. Use your word to help me gain understanding of your love for me and who you are. God fill this quiet time with new revelations. God speak to me through your word and download in me some divine wisdom.

God before I leave this time with you help me put on the full armor of God. God sharpen my sword of spirit, by writing your word on my heart. God sure up my belt of truth so that I can be better equipped to resist the schemes of the enemy. Help me pick up shield of faith, put on my helmet of salvation, strap up my boots of peace, and protect my heart with the breastplate of righteousness.

God let this be a time free from distractions that I am able to go in after you. God meet me here and let me dwell in your presence.

In Jesus name

Amen

Ephesians 6:10-18 The Whole Armor of God

¹⁰ A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹ Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. ¹² For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

¹³ Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. ¹⁴ Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. ¹⁵ For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. ¹⁶ In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. ¹⁷ Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

¹⁸ Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.
