Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.(Ephesians 6:17)Prayer Direction
Thank God for the gift of His Word, the Bible. Ask for passion and discipline that will move you to open the Bible and read it daily. Pray for power to put into action what you learn in the Bible and strength to submit to the teaching of the Bible (and the leading of the Holy Spirit) as you read it.“Live It!” Challenge
