    To beat down Satan under our feet; To send faithful laborers into Your harvest;

    To accompany Your Word with Your Spirit and grace;

    To raise up those who fall, and to strengthen those who stand;
    And to comfort and help the faint-hearted and the distressed:
    We beseech You to hear us, good Lord

  • Scripture

    Job 2: 2-3 And the Lord said to Satan, "From where do you come?" Satan answered the Lord and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it." Then the Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause." Matthew 4: 8-11 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me." Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.'" Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.
