Father, make us bold for the Kingdom. Please help us to stand even in fierce opposition from those who want to deny your power and sovereignty. Help us not to shrink back from the truth of your word. Help us walk forward in you so that we might live out what you have called us to do. Let us be confident that we are your people. Reveal our gifts that you have given to the church and show us how to grow and mature as a congregation. Please help us to obey you despite the threats of sinful and disobedient people. Father, help us to speak with boldness through your spirit and not to be overwhelmed with fear and anxiety when attacked by the evil in this world. Lord, you are our strength. There is none higher or greater than you. Thank you, Father, in Jesus Name. Amen.
