John
Heavenly Father we pray for your Church and all that serve it, as it comes under criticism and attack. Amen 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (ESV): “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed” can offer comfort and strength. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (ESV): “For the weapons of our warfare are not worldly but are mighty in God for the destruction of fortresses. We destroy arguments and every high thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”
