Antidote

Psalm 74:20
Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.

Notes from verse 20
It is not God but men who need to be urged to keep the covenant. They are the ones who fill the dark places of the earth with habitations of cruelty. Men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil (Jn. 3:16–20). Satan is the ruler of the darkness of this world (2Cor. 4:4; Eph. 6:10–18).   from: The Dake Annotated Reference Bible

Saints,
The definition of antidote: a medicine taken or given to counteract a particular poison.

The Apostle Paul reminds us in Galatians with "remember the poor", then in 1st Timothy "to be rich in good works".  I honestly tell anyone there's such an angelic presence of angels ministering unto us as we take up the calling in Psalm 82:3-4 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. 4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

The key theme with God is help your neighbor.  Be the good Samaritan to one within your town.  Nowadays, we don't have to go far to see one who needs an angel by their side.  As your antidote carrying His presence (Luke 17:21, Galatians 2:20, Colossians 1:27) to the needy.  Then by God rest assure, in your time of need you shall be visited with a heavens presence ministering unto thee marvelously.

In closing,
As we're that angel to any, then in time of our own need again I assure you there's an angelic host of angels to our needs.  Honestly, from fighting/avoiding a traffic ticket, to anything that may be of concern.  Have respect unto the covenant God has called us - be the Good Samaritan and leave the rest of the journey in the wonderful hands of the Lord.
