Ephesians 6:14-18

14 Stand therefore, with truth bound around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with the ever-ready Gospel of peace worn on your feet.  16 Above all, carry the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one, 17 and take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.  18 With every form of prayer and request, pray at all times in the spirit; keeping alert to do this with all perseverance and praying for all the saints.
