The forces of evil can

Come up behind you 

And take you by surprise,

Despite the things you do.

 

 Evil can flow into

The smallest of places,

Side-step your defenses,

And win over good graces.

 

Evil can wear the face

Of any religion,

In order to get others

To sanctify it’s position.

 

Evil can harm the soul

When old grievances remain

To fester and grow

And cause emotional pain.

 

Evil can be overcome by

Replacing bad thoughts with good

And holding on to the hope

That God’s plan can be understood.

 

Any place where God is residing,

Evil cannot persist.

Good intentions and prayer

Can help us all to resist.

 

Stand firm in your faith

And do what is right.

God will see you through

Even the darkest night.
