We live in a sinful, hurtful, belligerent world opposed to the children of God. That is our arena, our battlefield. We are here by God’s will to fight the fight of faith. Paul in Ephesians 6 says, we are outfitted with the helmet of salvation, the shield of faith, the sword of the Word, the shoes of the Gospel and the belt of truth. And as Paul finishes that list of armor and weapons, he says, in Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. Prayer is an essential part of the whole armor of God. Jesus says we can’t begin or finish the fight without prayer. Paul says the armor of God is not complete without prayer.
