Day 17: Awakened to New Confidence

Welcome to Day 17 of our 21 Days of Prayer, as we seek more of Jesus, who empowers us with confidence. Today, we reflect on how, after being threatened, the apostles turned to prayer and were filled with divine courage, clarity, and calmness—a powerful reminder that true change is birthed through the anointing in Christ. As they stepped out in boldness, signs and wonders followed, and the community grew stronger and more united. Let's pray together: Lord Jesus, we thank you for the example of your friends, the apostles, who encountered you. May you gift us with this same grace that builds us and gives us assurance, poise, conviction, coherence, sharp focus, new confidence, clarity, and courage. Fill us with creative power to bring about a smooth, logical connection among the various parts of our lives. Let your valor come forth in us. Grant us greater resolution. Strengthen us in our inner being to face the tough tests. Empower us with Holy Spirit courage to face challenges and to witness the incredible signs and wonders of Your love and power. Help us build our lives rooted in faith that You are alive and the same yesterday, today, and forever. Make us more daring, trusting you every step of the way. Amen.Friend, Jesus is filling you with boldness in His Spirit—this is the day the Lord has made for you. Yes, He is working in you for His good pleasure! Now, go forth in peace to love and serve the Lord.
