BE PREPARED

I took 4H in junior high school and one of the things they emphasized, was to always place your ingredients out on the counter before hand, so you would be prepared before you began cooking! This made it so much easier on you when the time came for you to begin.
In the same way, when you prepare for battle with the evil one, you need to put on your "spiritual" armor ahead of time too.Set out your shield of faith,the very first thing in the morning, followed by your helmet of salvation, and you will be ready to button up your breastplate of righteousness! Step into your shoes of the gospel of peace and put on your girdle of faith, and when you pick up the sword of the spirit, you will be ready ahead of time for anything, because you're in the Lord's army and with Him as Your battalion captain, you can't go wrong!
