Praying from Acts 23:17. Themes: Obedience, Evangelism, Communication.

Dear Lord, like Paul, may we also have the courage to speak up and share the message you have given us. Help us to be bold in our faith and to trust that you will guide us to the right people who need to hear your word. May we be like the centurion, obedient and willing to bring others to you. We pray that those who hear our message will be receptive and open to your love and grace. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
