Armor of God

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6:12

I'm feeling this. Thankfully, this follows:

"Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground..." Ephesians 6:13 (through 18)

God's been showing me so much lately than in order to handle the hard and heavy stuff that comes up, I need to prepare myself. I can't just turn to God in moments of need or desparation, but I need to ask Him daily to provide what I need.
