Day 46: Prayer for Boldness to Witness

Day 6: Boldness in Witness

Scripture:  Acts 4:29-31

29 Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. 30 Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”

31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

Focus: Pray for boldness to speak God’s word and share your faith with courage, relying on the Holy Spirit’s power.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, inspired by the courage of the early disciples, who prayed for boldness to speak Your word even in the face of persecution. In their example, we find the strength to ask for the same boldness in our own lives.

Lord, in a world that often seems indifferent or even hostile to Your truth, grant us the courage to speak openly and without fear. Fill us with Your Spirit, that we may proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ with clarity and conviction. Help us to not be swayed by the fear of judgment or rejection, but to stand firm in the knowledge that You are with us.

We ask for opportunities to witness to Your love and salvation. Prepare the hearts of those who hear, that the seeds we plant may grow and flourish. Equip us with the right words and the necessary wisdom to answer anyone who asks about the hope that we have.

Let our lives reflect the boldness and passion of our faith. May we be a beacon of light in the darkness, a source of hope and encouragement to those around us. As we rely on the power of Your Holy Spirit, strengthen us to overcome our anxieties and to witness powerfully and effectively.

We thank You for Your promise to be with us always, and we pray for the empowerment of Your Spirit to fill us anew. May our words and actions align with Your will, bringing glory to Your name.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray,

Amen.
