“A brother will betray his brother to death, a father will betray his own child, and children will rebel against their parents and cause them to be killed. 13And everyone will hate you because you are my followers.13:13 Greek on account of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

“Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah,’ or ‘There he is,’ don’t believe it. 22For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones. 23Watch out! I have warned you about this ahead of time!

And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. 11And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. 12Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. 13But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 

Lord God my Father,

Protect me from the lies of the world, give me courage to do you will when it may put me in a bad place, give me discernment over your will and the will of the world. Keep my eyes focused on you, allow me to be one of the chosen.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
