Praying from Acts 16:21. Themes: Law, Culture, Authority

Dear Lord, we come before you today with humble hearts, seeking your guidance and wisdom. We ask that you help us to discern what customs are lawful and pleasing to you, and which ones we should not accept or observe as Romans. Give us the strength to stand firm in our beliefs and to follow your commands, even when it may be difficult or unpopular. Help us to be advocates for your truth and to live our lives in a way that honors you. We pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
