Keep on the sunny side of life

KEEP ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF LIFE

Well there's a dark and a troubled side of life.

There's a bright and a sunny side too.

But if you meet with the darkness and strife,

The sunny side we also may view.

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side,

Keep on the sunny side of life.

It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way,

If we keep on the sunny side of life.

Oh, the storm and its fury broke today,

Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear.

Clouds and storms will in time pass away.

The sun again will shine bright and clear.

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side,

Keep on the sunny side of life.

It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way,

If we'll keep on the sunny side of life.

Let us greet with a song of hope each day.

Though the moments be cloudy or fair.

Let us trust in our Saviour always,

To keep us, every one, in His care.

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side,

Keep on the sunny side of life.

It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way,

If we'll keep on the sunny side of life.

If we'll keep on the sunny side of life.

Prayer - Armour of God

Prayer for putting on the Armour of God

"Heavenly Father, we praise and worship you because you are God.

We are honored to be your servants and we take our stand today against the devil and his schemes against us, our families and our ministries.

Father, as we take up each piece of the armor, please secure it in place on us.

1. We take up the shield of faith and extend it over ourselves. It extinguishes all the fiery darts of the evil one.

2. We put on the helmet of salvation, which protects our mind from the enemy's attacks. We have the mind of Christ."

3. We put on the breastplate of righteousness, which covers our bodies with the righteousness of God. In Christ, every foothold of evil has been washed away and we are clothed in righteousness!

4. We gird our loins with the belt of truth. Your word, O God, is truth. Father, sanctify us according to your word and remind us through the Holy Spirit of the truth that destroys the lies of sin.

5. We shod our feet with the preparation of the Gospel of peace. We have peace with God through the blood of Jesus. We have favor with God and with man. We walk in our inheritance as an adopted son of God and have authority over evil in Jesus' name.

6. We will use the Sword of the Spirit by speaking the Word of God as it applies to whatever situation we may face today. Father, please remind us of your Word via the Holy Spirit.

We will continue throughout the day & night praying in the Spirit, and we believe that the Holy Spirit is interceding on our behalf according to our prayers.

Thank you, Father, for the whole armor of God. Please surround us with your hedge of protection as we move forward on the spiritual battlefield today and every other days. We praise and worship you now and forever. In Jesus mighty name, Amen.
