21 Days Fall 2026 : Day 16

❖ Day 16 Betrayal From a Disciple

READ: Matthew 5:44-48; Matthew 26:21-25;

Matthew 5:44
“But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you”

Father, in our praying for those who hate us and want to destroy us, You call us to love unconditionally like You do. Help us to understand this is not to appease our enemies, but that we would be approved as Your children.

Jesus showed us how He prayed while on the cross, for those who put Him there. Help us to obey You as a reflection of our love for You, our trust in Your character, and our hope through
 Jesus Christ, Your Son, to reach ALL who are separated from You - like we were.
 
Thank You for reminding us that You are greater than those who hate You and for teaching us to be like You! In Jesus’ name, amen.
