Praying for Thursday

I just spent time praying so that I can sleep tonight. A concordance is a wonderful thing for people who remember snippets of the Word without knowing where to find them...
I was looking for "don't worry and trust God with your words" kinds of things. In this passage, the disciples were asking Jesus how they would know the end of the age was coming. This was Jesus' reply:

Luke 21:12-19 NKJV
But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name’s sake. 13 But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony. 14 Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer; 15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist. 16 You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. 17 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. 18 But not a hair of your head shall be lost. 19 By your patience possess your souls.

I still face a long and difficult road with my family, but these promises from Luke are helpful. Thank you for your prayers tomorrow morning. Much love -- Kjersti
