Praying from 1 Corinthians 9:16. Themes: Evangelism, Humility, Responsibility.
Dear Lord, as I seek to share the Good News with others, I pray that I may do so with humility and without any desire for personal gain or recognition. Help me to remember that it is a necessity laid upon me to share your message of love and salvation with those around me. May I never shrink back from this responsibility, but instead boldly proclaim your truth to all who will listen. And Lord, I pray that you would give me the strength and courage to continue preaching the Good News, even in the face of opposition or persecution. May I never be ashamed of the gospel, but always be willing to share it with others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Verse: For if I preach the Good News, I have nothing to boast about, for necessity is laid on me; but woe is to me if I don’t preach the Good News.
1 Corinthians 9:16
