Pray for Families (The Light of Truth)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

Today is the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul the Apostle.  His conversion is a strong example of God’s omnipotence and enduring love for each and every one of his children.

The world today is filled with “Sauls” whom through God’s gift of grace, will one day become “Pauls”. In his heart, Saul thought he was advocating for God’s laws and His people, but was clueless to how off course he was.  Like Paul, we are all blinded to the truth in some way and need this same gift of “seeing the light”.  For without the Light of Truth, we can easily be led astray, inadvertently taking others with us.

There were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who ransomed them, bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their licentious ways, and because of them the way of truth will be reviled. In their greed they will exploit you with fabrications, but from of old their condemnation has not been idle and their destruction does not sleep. 2 Peter 2:1-3

Have things changed much since the days of Paul? One only has to listen to the news for a few minutes to know that those who follow the Way of Christ are increasingly attacked for their “hate”.  

“If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:31-32

Stay close to the Truth, and he will clothe you with all you need to withstand any attack.  Pray for your children, both young and adult, that they may be given eyes to see, ears to hear, and the confidence to stand with the Truth.

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet

Can you discern truth from lie? Pray for his Light! Pass it on!
