Summary
So often we think of persecution as something that only happens in the places where faith in Jesus can cost you your life. But persecution is actually something all of us will experience if we’re seeking Jesus and trying to live godly lives (2 Timothy 3:12).
Today we’re praying for our kids to live big enough in their convictions to experience persecution, while also leaning on God to get them through it. Whether it’s in the middle of hard and dysfunctional relationships, in lost job opportunities, or even in places of being overlooked or disqualified while pursuing the Lord—God promises peace and hope for the persecuted.
Let’s pray together for all the dark and difficult moments our kids will face, asking God to remind them that “no weapon fashioned against us shall succeed (Isaiah 54:17).”

| 0:03.5 | Hey guys, welcome to pardon the mess. |
| 0:16.0 | It's Cynthia again. |
| 0:16.8 | I'm so glad you're joining us. |
| 0:18.3 | This is week six as we're praying through the school year for |
| 0:21.2 | our kids. And this week, we're praying the key to persecution. And if you're anything like me, |
| 0:26.9 | you're thinking, awesome. Make it a short one because I'm going to pray my kids do not get persecuted |
| 0:31.1 | and we're done. And as a mother of three, I agree with you in that sentiment, but there's more to it. And so we're going to be focused on Psalm 109, |
| 0:39.4 | and I'll read the whole Psalm in a few minutes, but let me give you some key verses. Versus 28 and 31, |
| 0:44.9 | let them curse, but you will bless. They arise and are put to shame, but your servant will be |
| 0:49.1 | glad, for he stands at the right hand of the needy one to save him from those who condemn his soul to death. |
| 0:56.4 | So if you're anything like me, you think of persecution is something that happens in other countries. |
| 1:02.4 | It happens in third world countries a lot of times. |
| 1:05.2 | It's people that are smuggling in Bibles or trying to do underground Bible studies or worship |
| 1:10.0 | services. |
| 1:10.5 | You think it as people |
| 1:11.8 | that are martyred for their faith, not things that happen in this country. |
| 1:15.3 | But 2 Timothy 312 says, in fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus |
| 1:20.6 | will be persecuted. Are you getting that? Everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus |
| 1:25.2 | will be persecuted. And so we actually want |
