Lord, thank You for the gift of faith and the privilege of suffering for Christ. When hardship comes because of my commitment to You, help me receive it as a grace rather than a burden. Let my suffering draw me closer to Jesus and make my witness more powerful. May I count it all joy to share in His sufferings. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Philippians 1:29
For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him.
