Lord, shouldn’t I hate those who hate you? Do not let these evil people have their way. Do not let their evil schemes succeed. Let them see that it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Son, I know everything people do. I know what they are going to say even before they say it. I know that those who hate Me have a sin-sick heart. Soon I will give them what they deserve.
Son, understand this that I will go before you, and I have placed My hand of blessing on your head. Every day of your life is recorded in My book. I died to set you free from the penalty of your sins and you can now come boldly entering heaven’s Most Holy Place; right into My presence. In the coming days you must hold tightly to My promises without wavering, for I can be trusted to keep all My promises. Think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. Remember that there are better things waiting for you that will last forever. But for now, patient endurance is what you need and soon you will receive all that I have promised.
Lord, how precious are Your thoughts about me. Search me, O LORD, and show me my heart. Forgive my anxious thoughts and help me to endure this time patiently knowing all Your promises to me. Point out anything in me that offends You, and lead me along the path You have laid out for me.
