Lately you have been feeling like you are being attacked. As if no matter what you do it's always wrong and you are in trouble. When you help clean up around the house your parents thank you for the hard work but there is something that you did or didn't do and you are in trouble. You have been getting mean messages on an online game that you play off and on. All you did was write a verse from the bible in the profile part. If someone doesn't like it all they had to do was ignore it and not read it, but instead they have reported you and sent you a very rude message. When you respond to them and say "I will pray for you." You are not trying to start a fight you would like to calm them down and still be friendly. But instead they reply back in less than five minutes with an even more rude and cruel message. You need to get some groceries so you log out of the game and drive to a grocery store. While there you don't meet anyone nice. Everyone is rude to you. People won't stop blocking isles, people push and shove you from time to time, and the checker gets upset when you tell her that you don't have all your items because she is trying to get the next customer now instead of finishing with you. After you get home and put everything away. You are very tired and worn down mentally and physically. You look over at your betta fish who is staring at you. "Give me two bloodworms and I shall tell you something very important." He swims to the surface as you open the jar of freeze dried bloodworms. You place two worms in his tank for him. He eagerly eats them. When he is finished he looks at you for a long while. Suddenly he speaks, "These words of wisdom are not my own; for they come from God. Look to Ephesians 6:10-18; Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;" Once he is finished speaking he swims over to his heater.
