Lord, in the past I have endured suffering for my commitment to Jesus in shame and embarrassment. Remind me that it’s a privilege to suffer for the sake of Your name. You suffered great agony for me in the past, Lord, so forgive me for avoiding suffering for You today. I know You understand my pain because You have experienced it-and much more.
