Almighty God, who is a strong tower for those who trust in you, increase our faith and calm our fears, that we would not be intimidated by those who oppose us but would rest safely in you and your protection, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit was and is and is to come. Amen. ‘Only, live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ… standing firm in one spirit, striving side by side with one mind for the faith of the gospel, and are in no way intimidated by your opponents.’ – Phil. 1:27-28
