Battle fatigue isn’t just physical; it’s spiritual, and it often sneaks up when life feels busiest. Today we slow down long enough to gear up with Ephesians 6:13, exploring what it means to put on every piece of God’s armor so we can resist wisely and stand firm. We unpack why spiritual battles don’t run on seasons or holidays, how the enemy exploits distraction and delay, and why preparedness beats panic every time. Instead of waiting for a crisis to reset our faith, we build a daily rhythm that keeps us grounded in truth, covered by righteousness, guarded by peace, shielded by faith, secured in salvation, and equipped with the word of God.

I walk through a practical framework for praying through the armor of God in minutes: naming each piece, asking for alertness, and aligning your heart with Scripture. You’ll hear how truth protects your mind from deception, righteousness safeguards your motives, and the gospel of peace steadies your steps when pressure mounts. We talk about raising the shield of faith when doubts flare, wearing the helmet of salvation to secure identity, and wielding the sword of the Spirit to respond with clarity instead of reacting from fear. This approach is simple, repeatable, and designed for real schedules, not ideal ones.

We end with a short, focused prayer you can use to start your day and a reminder of the promise built into the passage: after the battle, you will still be standing firm. If you’ve felt scattered, weary, or unprepared, this is your reset—clear, grounded, and centered on God’s strength rather than your own.

Still Standing: Living After the Silence, the Storm, and the Shattered Heart is the powerful second book in the Standing Series. Building on the best-selling Struggle to Standing, this new release guides you through life after heartbreak with hope, healing, and faith. Now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover.

00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:07.759
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:08.880
I'm Rick.

00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:14.000
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.839
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom.

00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:19.760
Ready to feel inspired?

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:21.519
Let's get started.

00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:26.320
Today is day 296.

00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:28.480
Keep your armor on.

00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:34.000
From Ephesians chapter 6, verse 13 from the New Living Translation.

00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:41.439
Therefore, put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil.

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.600
Then, after the battle, you will still be standing firm.

00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.359
Spiritual battles aren't seasonal, they're constant.

00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.240
That's why you can't take your armor off.

00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:59.200
The enemy doesn't take days off, so you need to stay covered in God's truth.

00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:05.280
You need to stay covered in God's righteousness and faith every single day.

00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:08.959
Don't wait until you're under attack to get prepared.

00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:13.120
Live armored up so you're ready for whatever comes.

00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:27.920
Now, today, I want you to pray through each piece of God's armor from Ephesians chapter 6, verses 10 through 18, and ask the Holy Spirit to help you stay spiritually equipped today.

00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:30.319
Pray with me.

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:32.640
Father God, thank you.

00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:34.799
Thank you for giving me your armor.

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:41.599
Help me to stay alert and covered in your strength so that I can stand firm in every battle.

00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.120
I ask this in Jesus' precious name.

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:46.319
Amen.

00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.120
Well, that's all for today.

00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:54.400
But I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's word.
