Ever have days where it just felt as though something went left but you can’t figure out where? I actually felt as though I was hanging by a thread to my sanity and my peace of mind. I made it through the day but about the time I hit the freeway something just seemed to break. Incredible waves of sadness were upon me and I couldn’t put my finger on a single reason for why.

I tried to fight it alone for a short while but past experiences reminded me I am not here to do anything alone. Swallowing my pride for the umpteenth time I reached for my cell phone and called a warrior. I needed help for this battle and it was beyond my ability to speak over myself. She reminded me I had gone out today half naked, forgetting some of my armor.

Eph 6:11-18 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
