Fighting spiritual battles consists of taking responsibility for our role in the battle, then dealing with the consequences in a Christian way, by being there for those who count on us, making sacrifices to help and protect others and by praying and fasting.  When we have an obligation to fight, we stay in the battle and do our best until it is finished, win or lose. 

Years ago, when I heard the Marsalis version for the first time, I was a convicted atheist. But after listening to that ending a revelation came to me, causing me to question all that I believed. The whole work, in three trumpets that are actually only one (Marsalis plays all three) is the act of creation and that final note was the face of God gliding over the face of the waters, gazing on his good work. I knew after one hearing that Pachelbel’s Canon is a musical allegory of creation.
