You have to arm yourself everyday

I have had an eye opening experience this past weekend as it has been building up the past couple of weeks. Slowly God was telling me to come back to him. Yes I have been a christian for years but for the past couple of years I have sketchy with my faith. My career, marriage, school and myself have taken direct hits because of this. This morning at church the pastor talked about waking up every morning and arming yourself for the day. I have never thought of it that way before but we live in a worldly world and if we do not pray for that armour it is easy to get "attacked" in areas of your life. Without realizing it I was going back down hill and not putting on my armour. I was doing things that I would never do normally because I had talked myself into thinking they were ok. I will start praying every morning for my armour and to win against Satan in these areas of my life. Galatians 5 is the chapter that the pastor went over.
I have been blessed in my life and I have been unable to see that until recently. Some of my students come to school and do not want to go home. School and being there with me is their safe haven. I will start praying for wisdom on how I can help these children for the small amount of time I am in their life. God is good and is faithful and is here for His children. We live in a worldly world and are human and will make mistakes but armouring yourself everyday will give you the extra courage to tackle these everyday "attacks."
