Don’t panic. I’m with you.
There’s no need to fear for I’m your God.
ACTS 4:29 (GNT)
And now, Lord, take notice of the threats they have made, and allow us, your servants, to speak your message with all boldness.
THE ESSENCE
If we let God deal with the threats, we won't be intimidated into backing down from delivering his messages.
DAILY FODDER
What is the message God has asked you to deliver? What kinds of threats might a believer in your situation experience? Are they life threatening threats or simply humiliating?
PRAYER
God of grace and mercy, thank you for not only entrusting us with your messages but also then backing us up. We confess that we often feel intimidated when delivering your messages because people react when they're presented with ideas that challenge their entrenched positions. Help me to relax into the boldness that you give. Through the Holy Spirit, resident in my life, I'm going to become your faithful messenger. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
