Loving Father,
I like to think that I would have the courage to stand up and speak for You when I am surrounded by people who despise You and who would beat me to the ground if I spoke of You, but in my heart I know that I would only have this courage with You within me giving me the strength and the words to use.
Thank You for being this strength to Pastor Steeven, and all those like him, who depend on You when they have lost so much just because they love You.
Help me to be as strong as they are and to always keep You at the centre of all that I do.
Amen
