"O GOD who art the author of peace and lover of concord, in knowledge of whom standeth our eternal life, whose service is perfect freedom; Defend us thy humble servants in all assaults of our enemies that we, surely trusting in thy defence may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." — Book of Common Prayer, Morning Prayer: A Collect for Peace
The humble servants of God inspire haughty assaults from God's enemies. Due to the enmity of good and evil, the sons of liberty will be attacked by the slaves of license. The proud darkness will attempt to snuff out the smoldering wick, but the might of Christ will confound them. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty; and the yoke of slavery cannot be reapplied. The glory of God defends the steadfast. The faith of the weak is a strong shield.
Therefore, do not fear the power of those who oppose the Lord. Whatever might they may have, it is borrowed. Christ alone possesses power in His right hand. He cannot be overcome. The darkness does not understand it anymore than it can overcome it.
John 1:5
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome (or comprehended) it.
