We have to put on the the full armor of God to be able to stand against all the evil in the world. Christians are fully tempted to surrender to sin . A good message in this write.

I love the power, the faith. The idea of spiritual armor is a powerful tool to use against Evil. This is a forceful statement. The only thing I take any issue with is the breastplate of righteousness allowing one to hear the Holy Spirit. To me, it's connected to the heart area, and perhaps 'feel' might have been a better sense to have employed. But that's me. And this was superb.

thanks, mfcohiba - you may be right but this is how it is shared in the Bible and in the sermon from which it is based so it is how I wrote it -- love, jan

This is such a great and important part of the faith, in these days full of such horrors, that I will be studying it deeper. Thanks again for bringing this to the forefront!

This is a wonderful written prayer to God. You seek strength. This so inspirational to me to know a pastor prays like this. I have hopr and trust in God for all my life. And i now pray for your strength and direction. God bless.

This prose prayer titled "Psalm of Defense" is absolutely magnificent work. I found only one place where you forgot to capitalize shown below:
"My God, I need your (Your) strength to shore up my weaknesses"
Otherwise a great piece, well done Janice.

Jan, great job. I really like how you have incorporated
the parts of the armor into this Psalm. A great message
for us to think about. I like what you said about keeping
my head together in the midst of life's battles.

Second Timothy; 2:15 is the best way to study the Bible. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

It is difficult to find fault with prayers to the Lord so with that said I will not even try because I loved it from beginning to end.

My friend knows this prayer very well. For some reason or another it has always been difficult for me to assimilate. I find it no coincidence that I have come upon this writing that will help me to remember what I am to do. I thank you for such an excellent presentation.
