I don’t want to deny You before people. I don’t want fear to control me. Help me to speak up. To evangelize. To never be ashamed of You. Help me to be bold. To obey You. We are young. We don’t want to follow the crowd but to follow You. Help me not to compromise. Lord, I want to be confident. Make me bold enough to pray for others. To invite strangers to church.
Even at school and work, wherever I am, I want to demonstrate Your love and word.
I don’t want to be like Peter (Matthew 26:69-75). I don’t want to fear persecution but give me the boldness to stand for Your truth. To speak up boldly. I want to honour You before people.
Matthew 10:32-33
ESV
32 So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven, 33 but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
