JESUS INSTRUCTS US:
"But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man."

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. --- Psalm 46:1
Pray:
Gracious Heavenly Father,
Praise You and thank You that, by Your word, You are my strength. I pray that, as Solomon had wisdom, I might have the physical, emotional, and spiritual strength to overcome the evil of the last days. And with that strength, I might be helpful and encouraging to my brothers and sisters around me.
in Jesus name, amen
and may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all people...
