Greetings Prayer Warriors,
While conversing with a peer today, we got on the topic of
how some within our organization are beginning to feel marginalized at work for
their Judeo-Christian conservative values.
One can feel pressure to remain silent in the wake of liberal behavior
or speech for fear of being called intolerant or a hater.
Isn’t this what Christ not only felt, but experienced? Should we not expect difficulty if we follow
Christ?
He professes to have knowledge of God and styles himself a
child of the LORD. To us he is the censure of our thoughts; merely to see him
is a hardship for us, because his life is not like that of others, and
different are his ways. Wisdom 2:13-15
We are children of God, all one family. Let us pray for the gift of faith, the
courage to speak the truth, and the ability endure hardships for the sake of
the Gospel, always responding with humility, love, and patient kindness.
And now, Lord, … enable your servants to speak your word
with all boldness. As they prayed, the place where they were
gathered shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to
speak the word of God with boldness. Acts 4:29, 31
Come Holy Spirit,
drive out fear and fill us with courage!
Make us one in You, now and forevermore.
Amen.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
With courage and boldness, pass it on!
