Spiritual Warfare: 'God Wants Us to Share Stories about Jesus'

God's Power for Our Battles — Wednesday, October 22, 2025

But this will be your opportunity to tell them about me. So don’t worry in advance about how to answer the charges against you, for I will give you the right words and such wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to reply or refute you!
— Luke 21:13-15 NLT

Today's Prayer

Lord, I confess that most of my life I have been hesitant about sharing my faith with others out of fear of rejection. Give me the courage and boldness to speak up-in spite of any opposition. I know You promise to give me the right words for the right people at the right moment and the wisdom to know just how to do so. Let my witness for You cause others to be drawn to faith and see hope in their futures. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
