Even Paul Was Afraid to Share His Faith — Here's What He Prayed Instead

If sharing your faith makes you nervous, you're in good company — even the Apostle Paul asked other believers to pray that he could do it fearlessly. In this message, Pastor John S. Dickerson looks at Ephesians 6:19, where Paul, near the end of his letter, asks the church to pray for him: not for comfort, not for safety, but that whenever he opened his mouth, the right words would be given to him so he could fearlessly make known the gospel. This is the same Paul who had been shipwrecked, beaten, and imprisoned for his faith. If anyone could share Jesus without needing prayer, it would have been him. Instead, he asked for backup. That's a picture of what Pastor John S. Dickerson calls broken-hearted boldness, one of the revival practices believers are called to keep growing in for a lifetime, the same way an athlete never stops drilling the fundamentals. This message is part of the One Year to Revival journey, hosted by Pastor John S. Dickerson, walking through daily practices that keep our love for Jesus alive and active. If you've ever frozen up trying to talk about your faith, let this be your reminder: boldness isn't a personality trait, it's an answer to prayer. Ask someone today to start praying that prayer with you. Text "DAILY" to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day. Download the CP+ Spiritual Fitness App for more.
