What are the six pieces of the armor of God?

Ephesians 6:14–17 names the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, footwear of the gospel of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit. In verse 18, Paul calls believers to stay watchful and keep praying as they stand.

How do I put on the whole armor of God each day?

Read Ephesians 6:10–18 and pray over what God provides. Then apply it to a real choice. Speak truth when tempted to exaggerate, trust God when pressure invites compromise, and bring Scripture to mind before you respond. Pray for someone else who is trying to stand firm.

How do I pray during spiritual warfare?

Ask the Father for strength to obey Him and for alertness to recognize temptation. Pray for other believers and for boldness to speak the gospel, as Paul asks in Ephesians 6:18–20. Start with a concrete concern: Father, help me tell the truth in this conversation and respond with grace.
