Morning Prayer 

And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

Inspiration 

Speaking up for the Lord is not always easy to do. Today, Christians still face prosecution from many sides, under the duress of governments, one's society, in the media, or even within one's workplace or school. But trust in the Holy Spirit to speak up in the face of ridicule, hostilities, or tyranny. Jesus promises to be there in the hour of our need; we may not have all the answers, but we will be provided for, we are not alone.

Prayer 

Lord God guide me through the challenges of others to our faith, and grant me your wisdom and words against all who seek injury. Give me over to your will in defending our faith, and stay with me in the hour of my need. Help me help others see the way towards your truth and your salvation, Amen.
