CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We commit time and discipline to strengthening our physical bodies. How are we strengthening our spirits for the battles we are in? Ephesians 6: 10-18 gives us a good picture of the spiritual battle that wages around us.

The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

MOLESKIN:
Once again, I’m moved by how blessed we are to be able to get better together. But I’m also amazed by the struggles that we have in our individual lives: marriage, family, work, church. Life is tough and not all of us are winning in our struggles, but there is tremendous hope in Christ: We are more than conquerors through Christ who loved us.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
22 crushed Iron PAX challenge week 4.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
1 Thess. 5:17 “Pray without ceasing”.  My pray life has been something of a constant struggle. I just simply haven’t made it the priority it should be.  It should be part of our everyday lives and practically a constant state of mind.  Jesus warns against “meaningless repetition” in Matthew 6:5-8.  In context, it sounds more like he is calling out people who may try to sound good before men with their prayers and don’t have their focus on the fact that they are speaking to God.  However, I think it is reasonable to apply any meaningless prayer that one may say.  For example, I tend to have a standard before-meal prayer that I always use.  There is no real meaning and no true thankfulness behind it.  He says to “pray to your Father in secret” so that you don’t focus on being seen by men.  Make sure you are keeping your focus on speaking to your Creator.  Maintaining a relationship with God requires spending time in prayer with Him just like any relationship requires a time investment.  Sometimes it may be difficult to find the words, but if we put in the time, God will hear even if we don’t know what to say.
MOLESKIN:
Nice job to all the PAX this month for completing the Iron PAX challenge!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Crawling on hands and knees up a steep hill in various directions is often what life feels like.  However, we climb knowing Christ is with us.  We climb knowing we are not alone.  We can climb in strength knowing we lean on God our redeemer — our true rock.

Ps 18:2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Ps 19:14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Ps 28:1 To you, Lord, I call; you are my Rock, do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who go down to the pit.

Ps 31:2 Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me.

Ps 62:2 Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

Retaliation

38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic,[a] let him have your cloak as well. 41 And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you
