Realign my fractured thinking

Strengthen the muscles of self control

Inject healing to my areas of tension

Widen the gaps that have become narrow

Let movement occur with ease

As I rise from my surrendered knees

To walk upright in confidence

Empowered with all my tools of defense

Prepared to walk with a purpose in mind

To give hope our lives can be redefined.

“13Therefore 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. 14Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.16In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.” Ephesians 6:13-20
