Lord God, if we feel hated by the world, You have told us to keep in mind that it hated You first. You said that if we belonged to the world, it would love us at its own. As it is, we do not belong to the world, but You, awesome and magnificent God, have chosen us out of the world. That is why the world hates us. Help us to remember the words You spoke to us: "No servant is greater than his master." If they persecuted You, they will persecute us also. If they obeyed Your teaching, they will obey the teaching of Your disciples also. Even if our father and mother forsake us, You, Lord, will receive us.O God, we desperately need Your discernment when something may be permissible for us but not necessarily beneficial. Please empower Your children in this nation, and all our American Heroes to resist things that are not beneficial for us so that we will not be mastered by anything! Help us to truly embrace the fact that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in us, whom we have received from God. We are not our own. Thank You, Father! We are so much better off belonging to You than belonging to ourselves! You found our lives worth buying at a tremendously high price. Therefore please help us to honor You with our bodies. In Jesus name, Amen.
