Group Pressure, Standing Alone ❤️
Faith gives strength to resist! ✨
Scripture For Today: "We must obey God rather than human beings."
Everyone expects you to go along with what they're doing.
You're the only one who thinks this isn't right.
Your friends or kids make you feel weird for questioning their choices.
You wonder if standing for your beliefs is worth feeling so alone.
It's hard to be the only voice saying "no" when everyone else says "yes."
Saint Maurice led six thousand soldiers who all refused to hurt innocent people.
The emperor ordered them killed because they wouldn't break their promise to God.
You don't have to follow the crowd to belong somewhere.
God sees your courage when you stand alone for what's right.
Today's Prayer: When I Stand Alone
Jesus, everyone around me thinks I'm wrong,
But in my spirit I can hear Your song.
Give me strength to stand for what is true,
Even when I feel so far from You.
Help me remember that You're always there,
When others make me feel like no one cares.
Let my faith be stronger than my fear,
And help me know that You are always near.
Bless my choice to do what's right,
Even when I have to fight.
Amen.
🕯️ When Standing Alone Feels Too Heavy 🕯️
Light reminds you that God's strength burns steady, even when everyone else walks away.
Your courage lights the way for another mother's child to get life-saving vitamins.
Think of one situation where you need courage to stand alone.
Place your hand over where God put your conscience.
Feel His strength flowing into your decision.
May Saint Maurice and his soldiers' faithful courage remind you today—
Standing alone with God is never truly alone.
Your integrity matters more than fitting in.
Holding you in prayer,
