"At my first defense no one appeared on my behalf, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them! But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength, so that through me the proclamation might be completed and all the Gentiles might hear it."
We are never alone when we are walking by faith, God is always by our side because you give him the opportunity. Do you recall the first words Jesus said when He first appeared to His disciples in the upper room? "Peace be with you." Luke 24:36 They all deserted Him except Mary and John, yet He offered them His peace. Do we do that when we feel like we have been deserted and left alone? I recognize in me I want to get back but really what I need to do is ask Jesus to stand by my side and give me strength. I say to you today, may the peace of Christ be with you. Only thru peace do we proclaim the Gospel.
Dear Heavenly Father, we are overly sensitive in others responses or lack of, may I adopt the attitude that You have by offering peace. Our lives speak to others may I always keep you at my side. Help me overcome the battles today with peace. Only through You can I do this so I ask this in Your Holy Name, Jesus Christ, amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.
St. Luke, pray for us.
