Help, LORD, because the godly are all gone;
the faithful have completely disappeared
from the human race!
JOHN 6:67 (ABP)
After the large contingent of disciples abandoned Jesus, he turned to the Twelve and asked, "Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you want to bail on me, too?”
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Even when you're faithful, sometimes it feels like you're going it alone.
DAILY FODDER
Have you ever felt like you were going it alone? How did that sense of aloneness get resolved?
PRAYER
Faithful God, I take comfort in the fact that even if everyone else were to desert me you'd be faithful. Forgive me for wallowing in the discomfort of aloneness. Increase my awareness of the hope I already have—the hope that does not depend on anyone but you. I'm not going to let the naysayers gaslight me because I know that you are faithful. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen!
