Ephesians 6 makes it clear that we need to put on all the pieces of the armor through prayer. But the shield of faith does seem to stand out from the other pieces of armor. We come to the battle with the other pieces already on our person, but we have to “take up” the shield of faith.

Suffering has the ability to turn us inward into ourselves and our loss or turn our hearts upward to our gain in having the Lord during them. During trials, we will never truly worship God as He desires until our passion for His glory exceeds our passion for the glory of ourselves. We can praise Him because His sovereignty generates trust, produces power, and springs hope in this life and the next. Whether brokenness is removed or remains, our worship declares that His adulation is our highest goal and ultimate delight.
