Ephesians 6:18, "praying at all times in the Spirit"
What does "at all times" look like ?What does "in the Spirit" mean?

John Burton (1803-1877) English children's hymnwriter, I OFTEN SAY MY PRAYERS
1 I often say my prayers; But do I ever pray? And do the wishes of my heart Go with the words I say?
2 I may as well kneel down, And worship gods of stone, As offer to the living God, A prayer of words alone.
3 For words without the heart, The Lord will never hear; Nor will He to those lips attend, Whose prayers are not sincere.
4 Lord, show me what I need, And teach me how to pray; Nor let me ask Thee for Thy grace, Not feeling what I say.

Ephesians 6:17b,
Besides discovering how well the LEGACY STANDARD BIBLE translated the entire passage on the Church's armor, probably the most interesting discovery was the realization the Church/Christians are told to "receive," rather than "pick up" the "sword of the Spirit" !

Ephesians 6:16-17
We initially take care of a few unfinished details concerning the "shield of faith" -- Did Jesus have faith?  Next we spend a good amount of time considering what it means to "receive" the "helmet (or hope) of salvation".
