¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
¹¹ Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
¹² For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
¹³ Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
¹⁴ Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
¹⁵ and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
¹⁶ In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
¹⁷ Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit,which is the word of God.
¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

My Heavenly Father, as I enter
this workplace,
I bring Your presence with me.
I speak Your peace, Your grace,
Your mercy, and Your perfect
order into this office.
I acknowledge Your power over
all that will be spoken, thought,
decided, and done
within these walls.

Lord, I thank You for the gifts
You have blessed me with.
I commit to using them
responsibly in Your honor.
Give me fresh supply of
strength to do my job.
Anoint my projects, ideas, and
energy, so that even my smallest
accomplishment may bring You glory.

Lord,
when I am confused, guide me.
when I am weary, energize me.
when I am burnt out, infuse me
with the light of the Holy Spirit.
May the work that I do and the
way I do it bring faith, joy, and
a smile to all that I come in
contact with today.
And oh Lord, when I leave this
place, give me traveling mercy.
Bless my family and home
to be in order as I left it.

Lord, I thank you for everything
You’ve done,
everything You’re doing, and
everything You’re going to do.

In the Name of Jesus I pray,
with much love and thanksgiving
Amen.
