Faithful God,
When voices rise against me, when hearts wish for my failure,
Remind me that my success is rooted in you alone.
You have called me,
You have anointed me,
And no resistance can cancel your purpose.
Turn their envy into silence,
Their doubt into distance,
and my spirit into steadfast courage.
Let me walk with dignity,
guarded by your peace,
and strengthened by the truth:
that I am not defined by betrayal,
but by Your unfailing love.
Amen
Rev. Debra E. Stith
