For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God —1 Peter 2:19 Unjust suffering! Ouch, even the sound of those words sends a chill up and down my spine. Such a thing doesnt seem fair or appropriate — and it probably isnt. Yet we have many brothers and sisters bearing up under pain and unjust suffering because of their commitment and loyalty to the only True God and to his Son, Jesus Christ. Wouldnt it be incredible if those of us who are not touched by terrible persecution or hardship would begin each day praying for those in our spiritual family who do face hardship, persecution, suffering, and mistreatment? As they display the grace of Christ in the face of such difficulty to honor God, lets pray that our Father will not only give them strength to endure, but that he will also deliver them soon! My Prayer... Holy and merciful Father, please bless your children today who suffer pain and hardship while displaying the grace of Jesus. Whether these problems are because of persecution or because of lifes difficulties, I pray that you strengthen my brothers and sisters who are suffering. I ask in Jesus Name - Amen
