 30 Years of Heartlight
Accept God’s salvation as your helmet. And take the sword of the Spirit—that sword is the teaching of God.
— Ephesians 6:17 ERV

Today's Prayer

Lord, please help me to be confident in my salvation, and let that knowledge of Your saving power be a bastion of confidence leading me to be bold in my Christian life and witness for You. Protect my mind and thoughts from the enemy and the evil that is being put right in front of me every single day. I want my every decision to honor Christ and help enlarge the Kingdom in the world right around me. Remind me of Your truths as I need them, and let those reminders breed confidence that I can complete my journey to a successful end. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
