Friday, Nov. 3, 2023 – Almighty and everlasting God, our fortress and strength in the faith, who restrains the dark forces of evil bound to this age, and strengthens us as one body in Christ to take up the whole armor of Your might, we implore You so to protect and strengthen this body in Christ to stand firm against all evil attempts to subvert your will in building up this church in all Scriptural truth and righteousness, to the glory of Your holy name, with the Son and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
