With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the sake of the Good News.
If we die with him,
we will also live with him.
12If we endure hardship,
we will reign with him.
If we deny him,
he will deny us.
13If we are unfaithful,
he remains faithful,
for he cannot deny who he is.
Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace.
Lord God,
Give me your strength to stand up for your truth in this world, Protect me and bring me comfort in my suffering for you. Give me direction to follow you with everything I am and surrender my will to you. Lord God, protect me from my earthly desires may I stay focused on you.
In Jesus name,
Amen
