Father, there are many of Your followers who stand for righteousness that also deals with rejection, mockery, and ridicule from within their own family. As we take up Your cross we must be willing to lose our life, for Jesus tells us that it is at that level of commitment that we will actually find our lives. He also warned us that He did not come to bring peace to the earth; families will divide choosing one loyalty over another. Help us to patiently endure, remain steadfast in prayer for our loved one, and regularly extend our love that comes from You to those who need it most. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
