Praying from 1 Peter 2:23 relating to Suffering, Righteousness, Commitment.

Dear Lord, help me to follow the example of your son Jesus Christ. When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to you who judges righteously. Please give me the strength and wisdom to respond to difficult situations with grace and humility, just as Jesus did. Help me to trust in your righteous judgment and to always seek your will in all things. Amen.

Verse: When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.
1 Peter 2:23

This is a Command. The verse commands the reader to follow the example of Jesus and not retaliate when cursed or threatened, but instead commit oneself to God who judges righteously.
