21 Days of Praying for the Church

DAY 12

Responding to Hate with Love

Pause & Reflect

Hate is a powerful word. Today, hate has become a mantra for so many in their response to opposing viewpoints, other races, or disagreement.

Jesus called this out in His prayer to let us know there will be strong opposition: the world will hate us. So, what will your response be when you experience hate? What would it look like to respond out of the love Jesus modeled for you?

Speak a prayer for your church family that when the world opposes you or rejects the Gospel message, you will respond by showing love and kindness.   

JOHN 17:14
I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.
