Don’t be afraid! Speak out! Don’t be silent! For I am with you... ~ Acts 18:9b–10a (NLT)
Lord, I need to worry less about what others think or do. Thank you for protecting me when I follow your instructions to speak out. You obviously care a lot about people. For you are sending us messages and protecting your messengers. Help me to share the good news of Jesus -- even with those whom I think are not open to it. Grant me wisdom to share in a way that they will listen. I know that you are with me and that gives me confidence. Amen.
