When they had preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples, they returned strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith. Acts 14:21-22
The unbelieving Jews were poisoning the minds of the people against the disciples. They were violently attacked, abused and stoned, and then later Paul was stoned and left for dead. But they kept moving on to preach the gospel.
We will have trouble in this world, but God is with us carrying us through.
Dear Lord, give us the courage to stand up for what we believe in and the strength to do what you want us to do. Help us to trust you, to look to you for wisdom, direction, protection, and comfort. Help us to hear your still small voice when you speak to us, help us to listen to your guidance. Thank you Lord for all your blessings and answering our prayers. Help us to keep pressing on.
