When an arrow is shot your way, first, step back. Shield yourself in the shadows. Hide in your "secret tabernacle." If it is evil, it will come and then leave. If it is good, it will remain. Evil stays mainly when we step into its path and engage with it.
A priest made this observation the other day: when there is evil directed at you, stay out of clear sight and let it pass. It is time only to pray. There may be occasions, for sure, when we must confront evil head on (all it takes for evil to triumph is good men to do nothing) -- but frequently when something dark is around, it's best to step back and let it pass as it so often will (into thin air).
At the least, pray before you speak or take action. Remain in the comfort of your deepest soul. Step out only when you have girded yourself (Ephesians 6).
