Jeremiah 15:16-18
17 I never sat in the company of revelers,
never made merry with them;
I sat alone because your hand was on me
and you had filled me with indignation.

Being alone may mean acting differently than those around you. Like Jeremiah, who is speaking specifically here about drunken, party animals. This is especially the case for followers of Jesus who would choose not to join in behavior they think is inappropriate. A quiet “No thanks,” is much more effective than a condemnation, of course.

Pray for graciousness with those who have different lifestyle guidelines.
