Elder M. Russell Ballard
“I like to think of this spiritual armor not as a solid
piece of metal molded to fit the body but more like chain mail. Chain mail
consists of dozens of tiny pieces of steel fastened together to allow the user
greater flexibility without losing protection. I say that because it has been
my experience that there is not one great and grand thing we can do to arm
ourselves spiritually. True spiritual power lies in numerous smaller acts woven
together in a fabric of spiritual fortification that protects and shields from
all evil” (“Be Strong in the Lord,” Ensign, July 2004, 8).
