For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. Romans 7:15

Keeping those things before the Lord and listening in case there are holes in our armour,
or something we need to take care of can be an uncertain predicament,
or possibly there is nothing at all we can do,.
