“David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him… But David found strength in the LORD his God.”
When you’re wrong, you’re wrong. If you’re honest with yourself you haven’t always walked the “straight and narrow” path. God didn’t make us perfect, which is why He sent His Son Jesus to die for our sin. When people discover your faults and mistreat you because of them, find your strength in God to endure through it.
Thank God we are no longer stoned for our wrong doings, but words can hurt just as well. Life isn’t over for you. Pick yourself up and dust yourself off. You will make more mistakes on your path to “getting right,” but Jesus is waiting to forgive you and usher God’s strength to you. People will continue to talk about you and hold your shortcomings over you, but know that Jesus loves you and God’s strength will see you through.
Better with Jesus!

Lord I’m not perfect, but thank You for Your perfect love and perfect peace. I know you will forgive me for my sin and strengthen me in my time of need. You make all things new. I’m moving forward in You. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
This is my prayer
