praying 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, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel,(Ephesians 6:18-19 ESV)
Often when we think about this passage and the Armor of God, we are thinking about protecting ourselves. Paul points us outward, to praying for all the saints, for those who are more spiritual than we are, to those who have yet to know Christ. How can we pray so unselfishly? Only with the help of the Holy Spirit, who strips us of self and gives us the heart and mind of Christ. May He guide our prayers today.
