Christian, wear your shield close to your armor and cry earnestly to God, that by His Spirit you may endure to the end.

From Ephesians 6:14-16: “Stand, therefore, and belt your waist with truth and put on the breastplate of righteousness and lace up your sandals in preparation for the gospel of peace. With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one.”
