Prayer based on Jeremiah 26

Father, we need You. Your church has been given a most important task. We are to speak forth Your Word, which we love. Yet there are many who do not love the message that we bring, and we are tempted to turn back from the truth and to either speak the lies that people want to hear or to speak no word at all. Help us Lord, for there is an enemy against us. Disaster seems very near, and we need You. Protect us from those who do not love You. Give us energy for each day, lest we sleep and do nothing.
