...let not your heart faint.

Do not fear or panic

   or be in dread of them,

for the LORD your God is He

   who goes with you

   to fight for you

           against your enemies,

to give you the victory.

               Deuteronomy 20. 4

(Our enemies are anything we fear,

         both real and imagined.

And sometimes the imagined

         appear the fiercest of all.

When we walk with God through this,

    God brings the victory

            in the most impossible situations

and covers us with His glory

                        in unlikely ways.

Sometimes we will understand,

sometimes it is far beyond

            what we will ever see,

but even then He whispers to us,

          "Trust Me in this.")

O LORD,

We are shattered.

The darkness is menacing

       all around us.

We are threatened by it.

But Almighty,

         You are good.

         You bring good,

   even to what appears defeat.

Fill us by Your strength.

Give us Your courage.

And help us to

    bring Your name here.

You cover us with Your victory

              and Your glory

for our sake,

for Your sake,

and for Your Kingdom.

Help us to trust You

    even in the storm.
