Armor Up

Armor Up: Stand Firm in Active Prayer is a compact, Scripture-rich prayer guide designed to help civil servants and engaged Christians practice the presence of God in the midst of public life, spiritual warfare, and cultural confusion. Rooted in Ephesians 6:10–18, it equips believers to “put on the full armor of God” through focused, guided prayer in every season and circumstance.

What Armor Up Is

• A 30+ page prayer and Scripture booklet built around the armor of God—truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word.
• Created by the Family Policy Institute of Washington (FPIW) to strengthen a biblical worldview and intercessory prayer among Christians, especially those serving in government and public life.^[1]
• A practical tool that moves believers from vague good intentions about prayer to concrete, daily, Scripture-based conversations with God.

What’s Inside

• Biblical foundation sections that walk through Ephesians 6:10–18 and key Psalms, clarifying the spiritual battle behind today’s cultural and political conflicts.
• Topical prayer sections including Prayers of Thanksgiving, Faith, Intercession, Repentance, Identity, Cultural Prayers, Prayers for the Lost, and more.
• Fixed-hour prayers (morning, mid-day, evening, and sleepless nights) that help believers build a rhythm of communion with God throughout the day.

Who It’s For

• Elected officials, agency staff, and other civil servants who desire to serve as ministers of God “for good” in the public square.
• Pastors, prayer leaders, and intercessors seeking a ready-made resource to mobilize focused prayer for Washington State and the nation.
• Any follower of Christ who feels the weight of today’s cultural battles and wants to respond with perseverance, hope, and Scripture-saturated prayer.

How It Equips Believers

• Provides word-for-word model prayers drawn directly from Scripture, making it easy for new and seasoned believers alike to pray with confidence and accuracy.
• Helps readers “take every thought captive” through prayers that address anxiety, cultural pressure, identity confusion, conflict, financial stress, and more.
• Trains Christians to see policy, culture, and personal trials through a biblical lens rather than partisan or purely emotional reactions.

Partnership and Impact

• Armor Up is one part of FPIW’s broader mission to defend and advance biblical values in Washington’s public square through education, activation, and prayer.
• With a current annual budget near 1 million and a vision to grow to 1.1–1.5 million, FPIW invites partners to become Washington Defenders—financial supporters committed for three years to help “win back our state.”
• Monthly gifts of 10, 25, 50, or 100 and larger Defender pledges (Iron Dome, David’s Sling, Arrow, and Thaad levels) fuel prayer initiatives, grassroots engagement, and policy impact across all 39 counties.
