But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armor of faith and love and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation. – 1 Thessalonians 5:8(NLT)
PRAYER FOR A CLEAR HEAD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Lord, please grant me a clear head at all times
Protect me from all thoughts of evil and crime
Let me never forget to wear the helmet of salvation
Allow the armor of faith to shield me from temptations.
Let me discern whenever I am being attacked
Let me pursue peace and love to fight back
Give me a clear head and cleanse my heart always
I receive the wisdom you give to those who obeys.

How often do you ask the Lord to give you a clear head? Sometimes when I forget do to so, my mind can spin and listen to all the lies being thrown at me by the enemy. In Ephesians 6, we are warned that we are not dealing with enemies that we can see and touch but with unseen forces and powers. The battlefield starts in the mind and if we are not aware of it and not exercise our authority over the devil, our soul and spirit can be literally attacked. The apostle Paul tells us to clear our head at all times and wear the armor of faith and love. We must protect our minds with the confidence we have in Christ.
