Discerning Darkness - A Nighttime Prayer

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this age, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. – Ephesians 6:12

Please Pray:

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your never-ending protection against the evil one. Help us to be wise and discerning, to be spiritually aware that there are evil forces in the world, and not to be afraid, but to be armored in Your Word and filled with Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ mighty Name. Amen.
