So when you think you see evil and feel thoughts of attack rise up in your defense, turn to our Lord in prayer. Say to Him, ‘Father, it is not Your Will that I be separate from you, so it is not my will that I be separate. I rejoin with you by letting go of my attack. I give this attack to you, that you may do with it as it is Your Will. I ask nothing of you but peace.’”
