Heavenly Father, we come before you, having witnessed the vast darkness in this world. We ask for your light to shine ever brighter and help us to stand firm, holding our shields of faith high in order to extinguish the flaming arrows of the evil one. Let your word go forth with truth and justice so that we would triumph over the evil in this world, in your name. Your power astounds and resounds and we wait in anticipation of your victory. Amen
