The LORD is my light and my salvation—

   whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold

of my life—    of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 27:1

With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply.

Like this:

   Our Father in heaven,  Reveal who you are.

   Set the world right;    Do what's best— as above, so below.    Keep us alive with three square meals.

   Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others.    Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil.

   You're in charge!  You can do anything you want!    You're ablaze in beauty!

      Yes. Yes. Yes.

Be prepared. You're up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when

it's all over but the shouting you'll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You'll need them throughout your life. God's Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is

essential in this ongoing warfare. P r a y h a r d a n d l o n g . Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out. Ephesians 6
