So, the armor of God. That never seemed very relevant to me.

I’m not in battles every day! Not even spiritual ones.

seminary teacher talking to class

Have you ever lost your temper? Or felt hopeless?

girl talking

Well, yeah. Everybody has. That’s not what I think of as battle.

woman talking

Satan uses many tactics against us, such as …

monsters and girl

discouragement,

anger,

hopelessness or despair.

It’s OK. I know you didn’t mean to do it.
