Ephesians 6:14-18
Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 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.
Marlin—a.k.a. Mr. Grumpy Gills—thinks he will never see his son Nemo again. So Dory has a fish-to-fish pep talk with him. She sings, “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming.” That’s Dory-speak for keep on truckin’, keep the faith, and keep your eyes on the prize.

Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming (Dory, Finding Nemo). When you prepare to go swimming, do you grab your snowsuit? When you swim out do you just stop swimming and refuse to move any farther? So, why when you get up in the morning and prepare for your day and what battles you will face, why do you forget your armor? Why do you leave God out? Why are you not checking in with the Holy Spirit? Why do you not suit up? Then, as your day goes on, why do you stop praying? You strike out on your own and what happens? You sink and drown. Tomorrow try to face the waves that come at you, by starting by putting on your bathing suit and just keep swimming.
