 • Fight the Good Fight of Faith: Playing Your Part in God’s Unfolding Drama

Prayer for Surrender, Teresa of Avila

Govern all by thy wisdom, O Lord, so that my soul may be serving Thee as Thou dost will, and not as I may choose. Do not punish me, I beseech Thee, by granting that which I wish or ask, if it offend thy love, which would always live in me. Let me die to myself, that I may serve thee, who in thyself art the true life. Amen. ~ Don L. Davis. A Sojourner’s Quest. Wichita, KS: The Urban Ministry Institute, 2010, p. 98. Eternal God, Lord and Master, thanks so much for your amazing grace in supplying us with your armor that can protect and outfit us as we encounter our enemies in this world. You did not leave us without aid in this great fight for your kingdom reign. We have your Holy Spirit, the forgiveness of Christ’s blood, the armor of light, and the truth of the Scriptures, your Word. We have been placed in your family, have the wonderful promise and hope of eternal life, and have been given the gifts of your Holy Spirit. Help us now, dear Father, to use these wonderful gifts, to embrace your promise of eternal life, and to flee all lies, folly, and falsehoods as we learn to walk in the truth. Give us the strength to represent you with honor as we take up the whole armor of God, and learn to never give up, but rather to stand firm, in the evil day. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.
