A Prayer of Trust in Persecution
Lord God,
You are my defender and strength. When I feel misunderstood or challenged in my faith, You stand beside me as a mighty champion.
I confess that I sometimes grow discouraged when my beliefs are questioned or my values opposed. I fear rejection and conflict.
Give me courage to remain faithful. Strengthen my resolve to stand firm in truth. Remove fear that weakens my witness.
When opposition arises, remind me that Christ Himself faced rejection and remained steadfast. Help me unite my small trials to His sacrifice.
As Holy Week approaches, deepen my commitment to follow You faithfully. Let my trust in You overcome every fear.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
