S - And pray for me too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldy explain God's mysterious plan that the Good News is for the Jews and Gentiles alike. I am in chains now still preachig this message as God's ambassador. So pray that I will keep on speaking boldly for him as I should. TO bring you up to date Tychicus will give you a full report about what I am doing and how I am getting along. He is a beloved brother and faitful helper in the Lord's work. I have sent him to you for this very purpose to let you know how we are doing and to encourage you. Peace be with you, dear brothers and sisters and may God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you love with faithfulness. MAy God's grace be eternally upon all who love our Lord Jesus christ.
O - Boldy explpain God's plan...there have been several instances lately that I have felt I need to go to some folks and invite them to our church and I haven't taken that opportunity or even just begin a conversation with them to start a relationship.
A - I need boldness. I cower down very easily and I want to be bold for Christ. I want everyone I encounter to know with out a doubt that I serve the Lord and He is my everything. I don't want them to even have to wonder.
P - Lord I pray for boldness to share you and to live for you and to proclaim who you are to me. Help me to never be ashamed of all you are and what you ahve done in my life! Show me how to live boldly in Christ!
Karlyn I will be praying for boldness for you. When I invited my customer to Easter Sunday, I realized how long it had been since I had done that. I have more friends in my life right now than I ever before that are not Christians. They are good people with sweet personalities, but they don't go to church and they don't know my Savior. A few of them have come from friendships formed with my Weight Watcher members. I need to be bold in proclaiming Jesus. Not just living it (although that is good) I must speak it. I've been reading books by this author named Tracie Peterson. I love how her characters are strong in their faith and always say the right thing when given the opportunity, but they don't look wimpy or goody two-shoes. It's real life stuff and they are confident of why they live a God-fearing life. She's a good one if you need a good read :)
