Strength of Character

Because the Sovereign Lord helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.

(Isaiah 50:7 NIV)

Sometimes doing the right thing takes more guts than I feel I’m able to muster, Lord. If I do what I know I should, people might get angry or exclude me. Help me, Lord! Give me the strength of character to follow You, even if it makes me unpopular for a while. I trust the end result to You, Lord.
