We are never out of reach of Satan’s devices, so we must never be without the whole armor of God.
From Ephesians 6:10-11: “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His power. Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”

Life feels upside down
Angry with fists clenched
Barking back at God
You have forsaken me
Please, please my Lord
Don’t push me away
Heart fills with courage
Waiting for my God
Look around to witness
Patience comes to many
Those immersed in faith
Righteous saints never forsaken
God asks for perseverance
More to one’s life
Than just plain enduring
Bring me staying power
God is my stronghold
In times of distress
For those seeking him
God will never forsake
God always walks ahead
He was with Moses
He’ll be with you
Never to forsake you
Ask for God’s protection
Through faithful, fervent prayer
God’s justice will return
Never, ever be forsaken
Open hands, open arms
Looking up toward God
Submitting to my Lord
Never to be forsaken

Neutral men are the devil’s allies.
From 1 Peter 5:8-9: “Discipline yourselves, keep alert. Like a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour. Resist him, steadfast in our faith, for you know that your brothers and sisters in all the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.”
