Praying from Matthew 14:4. Themes: Adultery, Law, Confrontation.

Dear Lord, like John, help us to have the courage to speak up when we see injustice or wrongdoing. Give us the wisdom to discern what is lawful and what is not, and the strength to stand up for what is right. May we always seek to honor you in our actions and words. Amen.

Verse: For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
Matthew 14:4

This is a Command. The verse is a statement made by John to someone, commanding them not to do something (in this case, not to have a certain woman).
