RIVIERA BEACH - The Bible verse is written in bold letters on laminated paper and hangs above Matt Elam's bedroom doorway.
Positioned just low enough to touch, it has become common for Addie Elam-Lewis to see her son run his fingers across it before the Palm Beach Dwyer High senior leaves for school.
"No weapon formed against me shall prosper," it reads.
Elam, one of the nation's highest-ranked football players in the Class of 2010 and a University of Florida oral commitment, will make his college choice officially in February.
