Day 282 Stand Firm in the Power of God | Ephesians 6:11

Send us a text

Some mornings feel like a fight before you ever leave the house. Today we slow the rush, open Ephesians 6:11, and get practical about how to “put on all of God’s armor” so you can stand firm against real pressures and subtle attacks that aim at your weak spots. We talk about the enemy’s strategy without fear-mongering, and we focus on what God has already provided: truth that steadies your mind, righteousness that guards your heart, the gospel of peace that directs your steps, faith that absorbs the unexpected, salvation that secures your identity, and the Word that sharpens your responses.

I walk through a simple daily habit—read Ephesians 6:10–18, write down each piece of armor, and ask the Holy Spirit to help you put it on before the day begins. This isn’t about spiritual theatrics; it’s about arriving to real life ready. If you’ve felt scattered, anxious, or easily thrown off, consider this your recalibration. We also pray together, thanking God for His provision and asking for the awareness to spot the battle and the courage to stand in the Spirit’s power. Along the way, you’ll hear an honest acknowledgement of vulnerability and a hopeful call to live “armored up” with peace and purpose.
