THEY ALL COME FOR VIOLENCE

They all come for violence, with faces pressing forward;
they gather captives like sand. At kings they scoff, and
of rulers they make sport. They laugh at every fortress,
and heap up earth to take it. Then they sweep by like
the wind; they transgress and become guilty; their own
might is their god! Habakkuk 1:9-11

Voice

Until the lions have their own historians, the history of
the hunt will always glorify the hunter.
Chinua Achebe

Prayer

Though the self-styled gods of the world claim victory
through violence, we know that no violence is too great,
no power too strong, no darkness too deep to overcome
you Lord. We praise you, Almighty God of Hosts, that you
have chosen the weak and powerless as friends.
