“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.

When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”

But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves.15For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.

Lord God my Father,

Keep my heart in your Peace and protect me from deceit. Help me to reach my children and others to draw them into your Grace. Allow a Peace that I can’t understand to rest on me in all things, help me to trust you completely. Give me the words to say that brings others to you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
