Spiritual Armor
wrestling with evil
wear complete suit of armor
~ conquer with courage
.
rescued from onslaught
lies and misinformation
~ loins girded with truth
.
safeguarding our hearts
resisting the evil day
~ righteousness’ breastplate
.
love for our neighbor
giving’s greater happiness
~ feet shod with good news
.
strongly entrenched things
evil one’s burning missiles
~ faith’s protective shield
.
empty deceptions
soundness of mind endangered
~ salvation’s helmet
.
God’s Word is alive
source of unending wonder
~ sword of the spirit
.
Seek help from on high
trust the one who is unseen
~ pray incessantly
.
