Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his own family.” 58And so he did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief.

 “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. 38So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.”

“But don’t be afraid of those who threaten you. For the time is coming when everything that is covered will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all. 27What I tell you now in the darkness, shout abroad when daybreak comes. What I whisper in your ear, shout from the housetops for all to hear!

Lord God my Father,

Give me a peaceful strength to live as you desire and allow your transformation of me to speak for itself. Use me as you desire to bring your message to others. Give me courage to stand under your authority and represent you well.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
