The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalm 23:1-6 (KJV)

b. Pray that God’s presence will guard ICA, its members, leaders, and all those connected to them, and declare the blood of Jesus Christ as a covering against every attack/fiery dart of the wicked, destruction, or plan of the enemy—proclaiming divine protection and victory through Jesus Christ our Strong Tower.
