Today's perspective-altering truth is in 1 Peter 3:13-22.
Lord,
Help me see suffering as an opportunity to tell others about my hope in You instead of just being scared or bothered as if You were not in control (13-15). Help me speak in such a way that those who accuse me will be ashamed of accusing me (16). I know that it is Your will that I suffer sometimes for bringing people to You just as Christ suffered to bring me to You (17-18). Thank You for baptizing me in Your Son's righteousness, clearing my conscience of the guilt of sin (21). Jesus, You are Lord of heaven, be Lord of me today (22).
