We Love Him Though We Have Not Seen Him

You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy.
1 Peter 1:8 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/1pe.1.8.NLT

God gives joy to believers, because we love Him even though we haven't seen him.  It is hard to have joy in these troubling times but believers in Christ have joy because we love Him even though we can't see him, so even if we die we will see Jesus.

Put on the Full Armor of God

Therefore, put on every piece of God¡¯s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.
Ephesians 6:13 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/eph.6.13.NLT

Putting on the armor of God lets me stand firm against the Devil and with God's help, I can resist the enemy.  I must put on the full armor of God.
