Give me the courage

Thank You, Lord, for giving me the courage to face troubles and persecutions from people who try to pull me down. Help me Lord not to try and get things even with them, but show them the love and compassion that God would give them. Use my life as a mirror of Jesus’ care for those who have not yet believed in Him as Savior and Lord. Train me Lord to be bold enough to stand firm on my faith. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
