Prayer: 
Heavenly Father, you have given us the most precious gift, the gift of your story. Forgive us for the times we fail to share it with others or ignore chances to show your love and compassion. Help us set aside anything that would distract us from our mission of introducing people to you to tell your story. What a privilege it is to share what you've done with those around us. God, we ask you to put people in our path who have yet to hear your story. Help us to trust that you'll give us the right words to share with them. Give us the courage to believe what you say and then act on it, investing in others and inviting them to know you. In Jesus' name, amen.

Scripture: 
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere.  - Acts 1:8  

For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. - 2 Timothy 1:7 

Today’s Next Step:
Think of someone in your life who doesn’t know Jesus. Write down one way you can share Jesus with them this week, and pray for the courage to follow through. If no one comes to mind, ask God to bring someone into your life who needs to hear his story.
