God of eternity, we thank you for the

great joy for the resurrection of Your

son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Feb. 10 through March 21 is the 40 Days for Life Campaign. This is taken from the March 1 daily reflection for prayers,

www.40daysforlife.com/devotionals

Intention: Pray that we each will daily put on the full armor of God, so that we are strong in the Lord and the power of His might.

Scripture: For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all, to stand. — Ephesians 6:12-13

Reflection: I am confounded to see how the battle over the issue of life is perceived more often in churches today as political rather than spiritual. Ironically, the enemy has used this twisted perception to silence many in the body of Christ. We must see the battle for what it is and we must daily “put on” the armor God has given us.

PLEASE PRAY FOR AN END TO ABORTION!
