If we become aware that someone is sending thoughts of ill will in our direction, we do not argue with the apparent reality of malice. To do so would give it more substance. We remove the personal sense of ourself and the other person.

Crooked Warden, I will fear no darkness for the night is yours. Your night is my cloak, my shield, my escape from those who hunt to feed the noose. I will fear no evil, for you have made the night my friend.

When a protector leaves you, it looks like the end of the world. But you gradually learn to walk by your own feet

Always do good for others because when people try to drag your name through the mud, God will always bring a storm to wash it away.

May the Lord rescue you from any calamity.

If we don't protect what we have, it will be destroyed.
