Rejoicing in the Face of Persecution

How do we respond when we are persecuted?
" From the mouths of children and infants
You have ordained praise
on account of Your adversaries,
to silence the enemy and avenger." Psalm 8:2
““Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” - Matthew 5:11–12 (ESV)
