Are You Equipped with the Power of God’s Word?
God has given you His Word as your armor to stand firm in every trial and temptation. Yet, this armor must be used intentionally and maintained through prayer. Scripture equips you with truth, strength, and wisdom, while prayer keeps you connected to the One who empowers you to live faithfully. Together, they prepare you to face every challenge with confidence in God.
Today, consider how you are using God’s Word. Are you applying it daily and grounding yourself in prayer? Let Scripture shape your thoughts and actions, and depend on God through prayer to carry you through every battle.
"Take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
— Ephesians 6:13
