(15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your heart, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
(16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
(17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

PRAY TO THE FATHER IN YOUR ROOM
Matt. 5:1,2
1.) Now when He (Jesus) saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain side and sat down. His disciples cam to Him.
2.) And He began to teach them, saying:
Matt 6:5 "But when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men.
Matt 6:6 When you pray, go into your room, and pray to your Father, who is unseen.
Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Matt 6:7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
Matt. 6:8 Do not be like them (pagans), for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
Matt. 6:9-14
9.) This is how you should pray:
"Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your name,
10.) Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
11.) Give us today our daily bread.
12.) Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13.) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever.
Amen.
14.) For if you forgive men when they sin against you, Your Heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Comfort And Encouragement
How many of us find ourselves suffering on a daily basis because we are Christians? Suffering not at the hands of others, but by trials brought on by things happening in life.
How many times do you feel insulted because you reverence the name of Christ and find yourself ridiculed and put down verbally?
How many times have others tried to make you feel ashamed of being Christian?
If some of the above or all of the above are your experiences, you need to embrace the Word of God given through the Apostle Peter in regards to "Suffering For Being Christian."
1st Peter 4:12-19
12) Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13) But rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when His glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy.
14) If you be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are you; for the Spirit of Glory and of God rests upon you; on their part He is evil spoken of, but on your part He is glorified.
15) But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil doer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
16) Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
17) For the time is come that judgement must begin at the House of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18) And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19) Wherefore, let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to Him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
