Disclaimer: Before I begin writing this entry or you begin reading it, I have to explain my method for choosing my favorite quote of the day, week, or month. I'm inspired by different quotes depending on my mood and what's going on in my life at the time. Therefore, the quote that inspires me today may not be the quote that inspires me tomorrow. That being said, let me find today's quote and get on with this entry.

Note about this Quote: Every day one of my brothers sends me a "Be Encouraged!" text. This text contains a quote from either the Christian Bible or a minister. Sometimes the quote inspires me and it doesn't. Today's quote inspires me, perhaps because of the events occurring in my life. Therefore, today this is my favorite quote.

Do not be afraid or dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 2 Chronicles 20:15

A multitude of tests,
difficulties keeping me awake at night,
but the battle is God's.

I weld the sword of prayer,
I carry the shield of meditation,
I wear the armor of faith
I place everything in Divine Hands
and I march
into God's battle knowing
that trust in God brings abundant blessings
and fear of God brings relief.
