Pull away from anyone who disagrees with you

Keep doing what is right and leave justice with God

Treat every criticism as a sign to stop following Jesus

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and I need your mercy. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and trust you as my Lord and Savior. Forgive me, make me yours, and lead me in your truth. Amen.

Receive Jesus

Lord, revive your Church when we are misunderstood, mocked, or opposed. Keep us faithful to your word, free us from bitterness, and make us reflect Jesus when we are treated unfairly. Let our lives show your truth without revenge, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Make Your Church Steady Under Opposition

Father, when I feel rejected without reason, remind me that Jesus knows that pain. Hold me steady, keep me from despair, and let your word be stronger than the hurt, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Comfort for the Unfairly Treated

Lord, when people treat others without cause, soften their hearts and turn them from hostility. Free me from bitterness and help me answer with forgiveness and wisdom, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Mercy for Those Who Oppose

Start by naming the unfair treatment honestly. Ask God to keep you faithful, to guard you from bitterness, and to help you respond with calm trust instead of revenge. Then leave the outcome with him.

Pray for a Steady Heart

Pray through these topics: God’s faithfulness to his written word; Jesus’ unjust rejection; the assurance that opposition cannot cancel God’s purpose; trust that what God says will come to completion.
