We often experience stressful situations that unravel our patience and self-confidence when the outcome is uncertain and out of our control. These stressful situations can also challenge our beliefs, and our faith in the one true God. I share my experiences and the truths I have learned from the Bible concerning the whole armor of God. Inspired by one of my favorite fictional characters, James Bond, I write with the goal of helping others navigate life using a Bible-based shaken not stirred attitude. Stressful situations may shake us up with many unknowns while we encounter them, but we can learn how to navigate through them with confidence using each piece of God's armor in our daily life. Learning to let Jesus be our Lord is a lifetime journey. We will enjoy the journey when using God's armor as He intended.
