Daily Prayer for December 6th, 2019     

When I feel a need to defend myself, empower me to silence. Let grace over time, say all that needs to be said. Time will tell. Help me to love my enemy and pray for those who persecute me. What sort of woman/man, I, the great day will discover; therefore, I fear and trust in You, not humankind. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
