Prayer is not one of the pieces of spiritual armour that Paul lists in Eph.6 Actually, prayer is what the believer is called to once he is clothed in Christ. Prayer is the “standing firm” in our faith. Going to the place of prayer is to resist the temptation of evil Scripture says: “resist him (evil) steadfast in the faith” Prayer is not one of the pieces of spiritual armour that Paul lists in Eph.6 Actually, prayer is what the believer is called to once he is clothed in Christ.
