Armor of God

Ephesians 6:13

Take unto you the whole Armor of God,
Stand firm as a soldier to praise and laud;
Withstand all the evil as you do battle,
Having done all to stand ever watchful;
Being a soldier for God is being prepared,
If you're not ready, you could be snared;
By letting down your guard allows anxiety,
To enter within and take over your dignity;
When we worry, our guard begins to weaken,
A gloomy attitude as it starts to darken;
You begin to panic as you drop your shield,
And you run out naked on the battlefield;
Be calm and cool as the chaotic mess hits,
Continue your battle never calling it quits;
When you have done all that you can do,
Never retreat from your enemy's view;
Just stand to relax and don't make a fuss,
Go to God in prayer and never try to cuss;
You have done everything that is possible,
As God consoles He'll make you comfortable;
