Spirit of the Lord, great counselor and voice of wisdom, help us to not take it personally when other reject us, that we might see beyond our hurt emotions to the reality of what is before us and be able to discern clearly your will, through Jesus Christ our savior, who rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the light of your presence and that of the eternal Father. Amen.
‘…and the LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them.”‘ – 1 Sam. 8:7
