WISDOM In Times Of Trials.-james 1:5

james 1:5
So if any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him keep asking God, for he gives generously to all and without reproaching, and it will be given him

Ask God for the wisdom to recognize situations and deal with them that might cause you to violate your Christian neutrality. If you are imprisoned or otherwise punished for resolutely advocating true worship, pray for the power to courageously defend your faith and endure any possible persecution.

Acts 4:27-31
27 For truly both Herod and Pontius Pilate with men of the nations and with peoples of Israel were gathered together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,
28 to do what your hand and counsel had determined beforehand to occur.
29 And now, Jehovah,* give attention to their threats, and grant to your slaves to keep speaking your word with all boldness,
30 while you stretch out your hand for healing and while signs and wonders* occur+ through the name of your holy servant Jesus.
31 And when they had made supplication,* the place where they were gathered together was shaken, and they were one and all filled with the holy spirit+ and were speaking the word of God with boldness.

God can strengthen you through his word. Meditate on verses that will help you keep your neutrality in the test. Keep them in mind now, so they can support you if you do not have access to a Bible later on. God's word can also strengthen your hope for future blessings of the kingdom. This hope is essential to endure persecution.

Rom. 8:25
But if we hope for what we do not see, we keep eagerly waiting for it with endurance.

Select passages that describe blessings that you especially hope to enjoy, and visualize yourself experiencing those blessings in Paradise.
