Persecution & Prayer Alert

"If you take care of yourself and walk with
integrity, you may be confident that God
will deal with those who sin against you. Above
all, don't give birth to sin yourself; rather,
pray for those who persecute you. God will one
day turn your persecution into praise."
~ Warren Wiersbe
