A Prayer When Church People Reject YouBy Kelly Balarie "No, O people, the LORD has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God." – Micah 1:8 NLT The Facebook post read: "Don't be offended if we do events without you. People in this group already have established friends." I stared at the post for a long while, sizing it up... Was this post directed towards me? It sure seemed like it. I was the new girl at church. I was the person hoping and looking to make friends with other moms. I was the one seeking new relationships. I was the one who was experiencing small, repeated slights from these folks. And now? Now, a message was sent out saying, essentially, "We are getting together without you, and don't get upset." I felt like a fool. My heart sagged (as if that's even a thing). It sank deep down into the couch of rejection, never wanting to show its face again at church. And what kind of church was this, anyway? A church that doesn't welcome people. A church full of cliques. A church that shoos new people away. A thousand thoughts went through my head. At the same time, thoughts of Jesus came to mind, too. Jesus was rejected by those He loved. The disciples fled from the cross during His hour of need. Judas, one of the twelve disciples, blatantly rejected Jesus — to His face. The religious leaders seemingly crucified Jesus with their words, even before He made it up on those wooden beams. What if Jesus gave up on God because man gave up on Him? Yet, He didn't. Jesus endured and secured victory – forever. There are eternal victories that are secured when I keep loving God and mankind despite man's actions. There is power when I forgo feelings of discouragement to stand as a beacon of encouragement to others, even though. It's true that sometimes, those we expect to be the most holy do the most horrid things. At the same time, that doesn't mean God isn't good, that His church isn't powerful, or that God isn't incredibly at work. Man may hurt us – but God will never forsake us. And even through man's imperfect ways, God's still working out a perfect plan. So, the Facebook post? I decided then and there that rejection would be my invitation into greater communion with God's love. In Micah 1:8, Scripture says, "No, O people, the LORD has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God." Despite the face of what feels like a wrong, I will love them anyway. Despite my feelings of hurt, I will extend mercy. Despite my pride that wants to make it personal, I will let go and bless them all the more. Let's pray: Father, I feel hurt, pushed aside, rejected, abandoned, ignored. I feel discouraged, down, and depleted from man's actions. I admit that my feelings are driving my outlook. I do repent of that. I do not want to be feelings-driven but Word-centered. I want your words, the very Word of God, to be my words. I want your love to be my love. I want your hope to be seen by my eyes. Today, I give you all those feelings.  In exchange, I ask you to mount me up in fresh strength, new hope, and deep love for others – even those who have hurt me. Help me to rise above man-made ditches and to pour out love like You did on the cross.In Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

Much of our prayer has no power in it because there is no heart in it. If we put so little heart into our prayers, then we can’t expect God to put much heart into answering them.

After two years of excavation, more than 900 artifacts have been recovered from two Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) shipwrecks discovered in China’s southern island province of Hainan. Excavating the deep-sea shipwrecks has required pioneering technologies including 3D laser scanners and high-definition cameras to map the sites and stitch together full panoramic views of the wreck sites using photogrammetry techniques and state-of-the-art submersible mud pumping and blowing devices to do the actual digging. The two shipwrecks were discovered 4,900 feet deep on the northwest continental slope of the South China Sea in October of 2022. Dating to the Zhengde period (1506-1521), Ship No. 1 was carrying an enormous cargo of more than 100,000 porcelain, pottery, bronze, iron bamboo and wood artifacts intended for export. Archaeologists believe its departure point may have been Guangdong or Fujian provinces and its destination was the Malaysian center of trade Malacca. Ship No. 2 was going in the other direction, carrying timber from Malacca back to Guangdong or Fujian. It dates to the Hongzhi period, 1488-1505. Since their discovery, a total of 890 pieces of porcelain, pottery and copper coins have been recovered from Ship No. 1, including blue-and-white porcelain, green-glazed porcelain, white-glazed porcelain, blue-and-white-glazed porcelain, enamel porcelain and brown-glazed pottery. A total of 38 objects, including wood logs, porcelain, pottery, shells and deer antlers, have been recovered from Ship No. 2. Two archaeologists firsts were discovered on the wrecks: enamelware on Ship No. 1 and ebony wood on Ship No. 2, the first of their kind ever found in shipwreck archaeology. The shipwrecks and their rich, varied cargos shed light on the bustling activity on the Maritime Silk Road during the middle Ming Dynasty period. The archaeologists said the two ancient ships were travelling in different directions, and the wrecks were found less than 20km (12 miles) apart. They said it was the first time vessels returning and arriving had been found near each other, indicating they were travelling on an important trade route. “It helps us study the maritime Silk Road’s reciprocal flow,” Tang Wei, the director of the Chinese National Centre for Archaeology, said. The artifacts recovered from the shipwrecks are currently being recorded and conserved. The Hainan Provincial Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sports plans to publish complete photographic catalogues of all the finds and to put a selection of the findings on display in special exhibitions and museums.
