          Armor of God               St Patrick's Breastplate     
..

               Armor of God   ( Gospel )     Eph 6:10-18          Appendix C5     11/21/04    
 
     As you get dressed in the morning envision yourself putting on your truss*1 and your suit of armor on; stand firm with the belt of truth buckled around your waist; the breastplate of righteousness in place*2; your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the Gospel of Peace. 
     In addition take up your shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one; put on the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the Word of God.   
     Pray for others in need, and pray for your own strength and thank the Lord for His help; think positive, God is watching you and declare the Word of God Often.          Various Sources    

     *1  Truss - a strong tie or fasten; a strong support that is unyielding ( a truss Bridge );a padded garment worn under your armor to protect your body; to seize and hold firmly, while carrying one safety.  
     You can think of Jesus Christ and His Angels as your truss; fellowship with Christians as your tie; and prayer as the fasteners that hold everything together..        
     *2  It is as Important to shield your back as your front, because Tempter will squiggle through any open or week spot he can find, in order to present his stumbling block to trip you up.

     This is a good way to think as you study and learn to pray, while you are developing your faith and armor.    
     Envision in the morning and whenever you see trouble starting;
     Christ before me! Christ behind me! Christ to my right! Christ to my left! Christ over me!Christ under me! Christ within me!
     Envision Christ and His Angels watching over you; protecting you; guiding you; teaching you.  Dear, Lord Christ, I Thank You
