But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power.
Oh Lord, as we find ourselves in the last days, help us to overcome the shock and to be faithful witnesses.
Give us strength, courage and wisdom that we may navigate these perilous days and celebrate the victory in Jesus.
in His name we do pray
