Prayer based on Luke 12:51. Themes: division, conflict, faith

Dear God, as I reflect on your words, I am reminded that your message is not always easy to hear. Help me to understand that sometimes division is necessary in order to bring about change and growth. Give me the strength to stand up for what is right, even if it means going against the opinions of others. May I always seek to bring peace and love into the world, but also recognize that sometimes conflict is necessary for progress. Amen.

Verse: Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
Luke 12:51

This is a Command. The verse commands the reader to not expect peace but rather division from the teachings of Jesus.
