Prayer for Sending You Out Like Sheep Among Wolves

Father, I thank you that no matter what it looks like in the natural – and in the natural right now, it looks like our enemy satan has turned our world upside down, filling it with all kinds of evil, turning it into a frightening place, calling evil good and good evil – but praise the Lord, we know that even though we are in this world as Christians, we are not of this world! Our true home is not in this simple world, it is in heaven. Hallelujah! And though we have been sent out like sheep among wolves, as your righteous ones, we shall live by faith and we refuse to shrink back. For we are certainly not of those who are held back by fear, we are among those who have faith and experience true life. Father, I ask that you help us to see ourselves as the warriors that we are, ambassadors who represent the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. According to Your Word, we know the Voice of the Good Shepherd and we will follow Him and we will not follow the voice of a stranger. Yes, there are bad things in this world, and yes there will be suffering, but as believers we can rest assured that there is a glorious Kingdom that awaits us. Thank you, Jesus. Amen and Amen!
