Psalm 69:10-12 English Standard Version (ESV)
10 When I wept and humbled my soul with fasting,
it became my reproach.
11 When I
made sackcloth my clothing,
I became a byword to them.
12 I am the talk
of those who sit in the gate,
and the drunkards make songs about me.
Do not expect the world to understand us. We worship out of obedience of faith and sacraments. The world will talk trash about us and in this we are to accept this because it is exactly how they treated our Lord.
Psalm 44:22 English Standard Version (ESV) Yet for your sake we are killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.
They regard us as less that animals for they have respect for animals. In the eyes of the world we are to be treated with disrespect, unworthy of affection. We should not expect compassion or mercy from the world. The hard part is to look past the treatment towards our hope and our future. We live in the now, and now it hurts.
James 5:9-10 English Standard Version (ESV)
9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door. 10 As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 1:7 English Standard Version (ESV) Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.
No one says this is easy/ My wish is that in understanding what is happening and the results to come, we would find peace in doing as the Lord has asked in forgiving their ignorance.
