			== Spiritual enemies never sleep ==

			The forces arrayed against us are pure spirits.

			They do not need to eat or sleep.

			They cannot get sick.

			Their full power of intelligence and will is always fully at their disposal.

			If we were supposed to stand alone against them, we would certainly be defeated.

			But "Behold, the guardian of Israel never slumbers nor sleeps" [http://usccb.org/bible/ps/121 (Ps 121:4).]

			He has appointed [[angels]] to watch over us in all of our affairs.

			Each one of us has a [[Guardian Angel]] who is always in the presence of God on our behalf, and always present to us in every moment of our lives.

			Our enemies are immensely stronger than we are. So are our defenders.
