Psalm 144:1-2 "Of David. Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle; he is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I take refuge..."
I am not a fighter, and by that, I mean someone who needs to win. I relent in most arguments, and don't even try to give an opposite point of view, especially with those I know who tend not to listen to other's insights or opinions. I have learned, through God's grace and mercy, to hold my tongue. I have been a fighter in the past FOR SURE. I used to try to come out on top when I thought I was right, but honestly as I age it is just too exhausting. Besides, I have too many other battles to fight.
Now, because I am not one prone to argument doesn't mean I am not a warrior. One is done in a prideful way, but one is done in faith. I know I can come before God boldly in prayer. I can speak the truth of the Gospel boldly as well, for it is God's Word and not my own. I can love out loud, even when it isn't easy, because God has certainly done the same for me. Like the song from Casting Crowns goes, "'Cause I'm just a nobody, trying to tell everybody, all about somebody who saved my soul." Most warriors' names throughout history are forgotten, but the battle they wage is remembered especially if they fought on the side of good. I just want to be a warrior for my Jesus, and to glorify God with my life. No argument needed.

You are a warrior Lehann and you don't need to pick up weapons or ammunition in order to prove that. You are armed with the truth of God and the power of conviction. Your beliefs will not be swayed no matter what you are presented with. Don't despair - we all fight in our own way and God sees that.
