Jesus described to His disciples some of the resistance they would receive from government, religious, and social/cultural powers simply because they were followers of Him. It is actually a part of God’s Master Plan for the end-times.  His advice … don’t worry about what to say … the Holy Spirit will give you the words.

I still remember a song I learned in Sunday School as a child. “Why worry, when you can pray? Trust Jesus; He’ll be your stay. Don’t be a doubting Thomas. Rest fully on His Promise. Why worry … when you can pray?”

Just ask me and I’d be glad to sing it to you.

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, we embrace Your promise to give us the comfort and help which comes through Your Holy Spirit. We trust You. We need You.

DAILY READING: Mark 13-15
