Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:13

Okay, may I be totally honest?? May I share what I have been going through these last couple of weeks??

I hope so... because I know that many of you are going through pain and struggles that seem greater then what you can handle. There are times when you don't know what to do... or where to turn and that is exactly what I have been facing!!

I am like a soldier who has just made her way through the blazing heat of the desert days, only to find freezing temperatures in the sleepless hours of night. I've climbed my way through lofty hills of sand - loose, deep sand, into which I've sunk, just like it were thick, gummy mud or untrod snow banks, with even greater distress from uneven and menacing surfaces.

I am not a warrior

has had to crawl up and nestle into her heavenly fathers arms to find the sweet rest that comes only from Him.

These last few days has made this particular prayer, take on a whole new meaning for me... there is a new realization of how much I depend on God to get me through each and every day!!

I would encourage you to read the prayer that is based on the scripture's Ephesians 6:11-18, letting us know that each of us need the whole "Armor of God" each and everyday!

My Warrior’s Prayer Heavenly Father, Your Warrior prepares for battle.
Today I claim victory over Satan by putting on the
Whole Armor of God!

I put on the Girdle of Truth!
May I stand firm in the truth of your Word so I will not be a victim of Satan’s lies!

I put on the Breastplate of Righteousness!
May it guard my heart from evil so I will remain pure and Holy, protected under the blood of Jesus

    I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again.” He chose the cross because He wanted to restore relationship with us. The Lord has set us free (2 Corinthians 3:17) and we have victory found in Him alone (1 Corinthians 15:57), which corresponds to the next line of the chorus, “Now rid of the shackles, my victory is yours”. The conclusion of the chorus states that the because the veil was torn, we all have complete access into the Presence of God whenever we want to (Matthew 27:51, Hebrew 10:19). The next verse focuses on the idea of the Lord being our light in the darkness, so throw off the fear that is holding you back to run fully into the Father’s arms (Matthew 14:22-23, Hebrews 12:1, 1 John 4: 18).…

    These pictures depicts exactly how I felt during and after Linda Lowery-Chapman's prayer this morning, before our morning run. This woman is definitely a TRUE PRAYER WARRIOR for God.

In her prayer, God gave her revelation into a personal family situation I know she didn't know. She could only know if God revealed it to her, and yet, she prayed about my family circumstances on my behalf.…

    Summary Those who are for arming teachers believe that having armed staff members within schools will prevent school shooters from targeting the establishments (Gunter).

Those against arming teachers quickly attempt to rebut this by saying that giving teachers guns could cause more casualties as there could be false shots in a shootout (Lopez).…
