âTherefore, put on the full ARMOR of GOD
so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil.Â
Then after the BATTLE you will still be standing firm.
Stand your ground,Â
By putting on the belt of TRUTH and
the body ARMOR of Godâs righteousness.Â
Chapter 5
What About You?
Do you ever feel alone? Has God set you apart for something special? For such a time as this?
Sometimes the people we trust let us down like Erinâs brother, Adrian. Sometimes itâs a parent who believes youâre more grown-up and responsible than you feel, like Erinâs mom. Sometimes the person we care about the most is taken from us like Erinâs mother, Grammy, experienced when her parents got divorced and Grammyâs father moved away after she and her brother misbehaved and he sadly drowned.Â
This means just one thing. No! No! Not that you must rely on yourself and put up a wall to keep yourself safe!! How foolish! A wall means youâve locked yourself in a prison. And getting tougher is foolish because thereâs always someone stronger or tougher. The answer Erin discovered was finding the One who is âcloser than a brotherâ and loves us more than a motherâ!!!
So let me ask you againâŠ
Do YOU ever feel alone?
Are YOU ever afraid?
Do YOU ever feel like no one understands?Â
Well then...Guess what? Itâs the appointed time. Youâve been reading and/or listening to this story because this is your Divine Appointment. Thereâs Someone who's been waiting for you. Someone Who is about to use everything thatâs made no sense or whatâs hurt you for GOOD.
All you need to do is talk to Him. Thatâs what prayer isâitâs simply talking to God! You can talk privately anywhere at any time because youâre talking to Him in your head and in your heart. Begin like Erin did, by confessing everything youâve ever done wrong right here, right now. Then once you feel clean and free, ask the Lord to come and live in your heart!!
Now, stop to relax, grab your coffee or cold beverage, and talk to the Lord, your Maker, and ask Him questions. Listen to what He's telling you in your heart. Then when He leads youâpour your heart into your journal, writing down what you've learned
