Father, one of the attributes that marked the early church in the book of Acts was courage. You are able to turn people who are fearful and timid into people who are courageous and bold. Give me courage. I need the courage to share the Gospel with those around me. I need courage in order to face my daily challenges. I also need courage to accomplish all that you have set out for me to accomplish. Holy Spirit I thank you that you are the agent that provides the courage I am asking for, and because you live I know that I can be courageous.
Day Fifteen
October 15, 2023
Day One (Prayer Gathering)
January 3, 2024
Lord, thank you for loving me before I ever loved you. I come before you today and ask that you would help me love you better. Holy Spirit, fill me with the desire to please you. Like David, I want to be known as a person after your own heart. Amen
Day Two
January 4, 2024
Jesus, you said the world would know we are your disciples by the love we have for one another. Increase my love for my neighbor. Give me patience for my loved ones. Allow me to extend grace to those that don't deserve it, just like you have done for me. Grant me a heart for loving others so that everyone may see I am your disciple and your name would be made great on the earth. If loving others well will point them to you, then I want to love people for the rest of my life!
Day Three
January 5, 2024
Lord, you have commanded us to pray at all times, without ceasing, and I confess I struggle with this. I confess that I sometimes don’t want to pray. I ask today that you increase my desire to pray. Draw me closer to your heart and will so that I can partner with you in prayer to bring about your will here on the earth. Lead me in developing a lifestyle of prayer. Show me the times and the ways to pray and to be disciplined in my desire to pray. When I don’t know the words, just let me know your heart.
