Hey Family,

How can I get over the depression, how can I cope with my ailments, how can I endure a difficult marriage? They’re all dealt with by picking up the shield of faith. In fact, every struggle, heartache, difficulty and pain that we have to go through can be managed with the shield of faith. But not only are we enabled to go through difficult moments. If we’re going to do something great for God--if we’re a 47-year-old person thinking about going back to college or a 38-year-old woman who’s thinking about having children, for example—if we’re going to do something audacious, something beyond our capabilities, we all need to pick up the shield of faith. In either moments of difficulty or moments of triumph, come to hear how we wield the shield for the glory of God and our own benefit.
