For, in fact, we told you before when we were with you that we would suffer afflictions, just as it happened, and you know. 1 Thessalonians 3:4 from NKJV
Our Father, thank You for being honest with us – we will undergo persecution, afflictions, tribulations, and distress simply because we are Yours because Your enemies hate You and Yours. However, Your love and grace outshine and surpass all the evil Your enemies can do. Hallelujah! Amen.
Read Leviticus 17
