Holy Spirit please help me to recognize every opportunity you give me to boldly share my faith today remembering that just because people disagree with me doesn’t necessarily mean that they will turn against me.   Acts 26:28-30 Agrippa interrupted him. “Do you think you can persuade me to become a Christian so quickly?” Paul replied, “Whether quickly or not, I pray to God that both you and everyone here in this audience might become the same as I am, except fo06.01 Open the eyes of my heart to let in God's illuminating lightr these chains.” Then the king, the governor, Bernice, and all the others stood and left. As they went out, they talked it over and agreed, “This man hasn’t done anything to deserve death or imprisonment.”

Lord please empower me today by Your Spirit to offer my every thought, word and action simply, honestly and genuinely to You as a response to Your love.   John 4:23 But the time is coming—it has, in fact, come—when what you're called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter. "It's who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship.

Holy spirit please miraculously empower me to be a witness to tell people about Jesus today   Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Heavenly Father help me to be so filled with Your Spirit today that I am able to submit myself to Your purpose by ranking myself under those You've given to lead toward that purpose   Ephesians 5:21 And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Lord give me a heart that speaks in a way that brings refreshment instead of wounds   James 3:10-11 And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right!  Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water?   Colossians 3:19 Husbands, love your wives [be affectionate and sympathetic with them] and do not be harsh or bitter or resentful toward them.

Luke 10:20-21 But don’t rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven.” At that same time Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit, and he said, “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way.   God please fill me with the joy of your Holy Spirit as I recognize that You work through me not because I am the most worthy but often because I am the least.

Luke 9:23-24 If any of you want to walk My path, you’re going to have to deny yourself. You’ll have to take up your cross every day and follow Me. If you try to avoid danger and risk, then you’ll lose everything. If you let go of your life and risk all for My sake, then your life will be rescued, healed, made whole and full.   Jesus help me to walk with You today on Your path by refusing to gratify my selfish cravings and gladly embracing the dangers and risks of loving others  

Luke 9:10-11 Months later, the apostles returned from their ministry tour and told Jesus all the wonders and miracles they had witnessed. Jesus, wanting to be alone with the Twelve, quietly slipped away with them toward Bethsaida. But the crowds soon found out about it and took off after him. When they caught up with Jesus, he graciously welcomed them all, taught them more about God’s kingdom realm, and healed all who were sick   Jesus please give me the humility and discernment I need to gladly embrace the things that You have planned for me to do that contradict what I have planned for today.

Jesus please give me today enough humility, discernment and desire to learn that I am able to learn even from hypocrites.   Matthew 23:2-3 "The religion scholars and Pharisees are competent teachers in God's Law. You won't go wrong in following their teachings on Moses. But be careful about following them. They talk a good line, but they don't live it. They don't take it into their hearts and live it out in their behavior. It's all spit-and-polish veneer.
