We ask that our spirits will rise and be revived as we focus on you. Thank you for the Spirit of Jesus, the overwhelming peace and joy that overflow in our lives.

Day 21: God’s Unfailing Love
Welcome to Day 21 of our 21 Days of Prayer: The Miracle of Redemption! Today, we celebrate the incredible truth that no one is too far from being saved, healed, and delivered by God's grace. The story of Saul, who became the Apostle Paul, stands as a profound testament to this reality. As detailed in Acts 9, Saul’s encounter with the risen Christ transformed him from a fierce persecutor of Christians into one of the church's most influential figures. As we wrap up these 21 days, let us pray for the prodigals, for the reach of God’s love knows no bounds. Whether it’s our neighbors, colleagues, famous people that we just know through the screen, or even family members, we believe that the power of God can bring about life-altering change. Let us pray together: Heavenly Father, today we rejoice in the knowledge that no one is too far from your grace. We lift up those who are lost, believing that you can save, heal, and restore. Ignite our faith as we pray for prodigals to return and for miracles to spring forth, with salvation, healing, and divine providence. As the psalmist declares, "You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples" (Psalm 77:14). May our prayers align with your will and resonate with the hope of your promises. In Jesus' name, Amen.I lift my hands like the priest of old and say this blessing over you: May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord; and the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among you and remain with you always. Amen. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord

Day 20: The Great Escape
Welcome to Day 20 of our 21 Days of Prayer. Today, we celebrate the miraculous escape of Peter from prison, an incredible testament to God’s supreme authority over all circumstances. In Acts 12, we see that even in what seemed hopeless, God intervened through his angel, showing that nothing is impossible for him. This miracle encourages us to trust in God, especially when we feel trapped or confined. As we reflect on this powerful event, remember that constant, fervent prayers facilitated Peter's release. This reminds us of the impact of persistent prayer and how collective intercession over these 21 days can lead to divine deliverance. Let's pray together: Lord, we thank you for the incredible miracle of Peter’s escape from prison, a true reflection of your power and faithfulness. When we feel shackled by life’s challenges, remind us that you are greater than our circumstances. Fill us with unwavering trust that no situation is beyond your reach, and may we experience your miraculous intervention. As we celebrate the power of persistent prayer, help us to believe that our prayers, as part of the global 21-day prayer challenge, open the heavens, change the atmosphere, and write a God-kind of narrative for our lives. Jesus, may, through our collective prayers, chains fall off, and we’ll move past the barriers in our lives. Victory and deliverance are near. Amen.

This miraculous event teaches us that when we praise you through our pain, we can experience profound liberation and joy. If you are feeling weighed down or confined by life’s challenges, take heart! Your song of praise could be the key to your breakthrough.

But just as Jesus transformed water into wine, He wants to bring newness and abundance into your life. Your past disappointments don’t define you. He can take what seems ordinary and turn it into something extraordinary.Friend, I proclaim you are released from the past. God is doing a new thing in you!Let’s pray:Father, I come to You with expectancy and an open heart. Just as Jesus turned water into wine, I ask You to transform every ordinary and empty place in my life into something miraculous. Renew my hope, increase my faith, and let Your glory be revealed in and through me. Pour out Your Spirit over my family, my work, and every dream within me. Give me eyes to see your grace at work, even in small beginnings. Help me surrender my disappointments and trust you for fresh possibilities. Fill me with courage to step into the new, and give me the joy of seeing your hand in every detail. I trust you to do a new thing today and every day. I commit these days of prayer and fasting to you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.God is doing a new thing in you—right now, today!

Peaceful Living: Stress and Soul Restoration
Welcome to our July “Greater Health, God’s Way” prayer focus! Psalm 103:2-5 encourages us not to forget the incredible gifts God offers—His forgiveness, healing, fresh strength, purpose, and abundant favor.The world’s noise can drown out God’s peace, but Psalm 103 says He “crowns you with love and compassion.” Chronic stress wrecks the body and spirit.

Inner peace is a choice and a practice—quiet walks, deep breaths, and sweet moments in His Word and Soaking Worship restore your soul and even lower your blood pressure and bad cholesterol.Let us pray,Heavenly Father, you are the Prince of Peace.

Bonus Prayer: Freedom to Ask Big
Bonus Thankful Friday Prayer: For more than four decades, the prayer of Jabez in 1 Chronicles 4:10 has shaped my journey, ever since Pastor Dick Mills urged me to pray it daily. Jabez in the Bible stands as a model of holy ambition—he wasn’t content with the status quo. He dared to ask for more from God: more blessings, greater influence, lasting protection, and a legacy that would impact his generation and beyond. We celebrate freedom in Christ and the freedom to boldly approach our Father with big prayers. Let’s recapture that vision—to become strong, vibrant men and women of prayer who believe God for the impossible and expect His goodness in every area of life.Let’s pray,Lord God, we thank You for the example of Jabez—more honorable than his brothers, not because of pedigree or privilege, but because he dared to ask for more. Thank you for a man who refused to settle, who was not satisfied with simply blending in, but longed for change that would shape his generation. In the midst of a sea of names, you highlighted Jabez. You honored his request. Lord, let us be people who are willing to step out, stand up, and cry for more of You.We remember Jabez’s prayer: “Oh Lord, bless me indeed.” Thank you that he was not embarrassed or ashamed to ask. He did not let false humility or a religious spirit hold him back. Jabez recognized you as the God of abundance, the same God who rescued Israel, who gave Your people all they needed and more. Just as you moved the hearts of the Egyptians to give their riches to departing slaves, you are still the God whose generosity knows no bounds.Lord, we echo Jabez’s boldness. Bless us, indeed—not for selfish gain, but so we can be a blessing to others and bring you glory. Expand our hearts to desire all you have for us.“And enlarge my territory.” Father, we long for greater influence, for more of your kingdom to flow through our lives. Jesus, place us where we can make a difference. Holy Spirit, give us visions and divine connections. Propel us, not by striving, but by Your perfect timing—Kairos moments that open doors no man can shut. Let us not be bound by Kronos, by worldly limitations, or the pressure to hustle and strive. May multiplication and promotion come from you, O God.Lord, as you enlarge our territory, keep us humble and dependent on you. Father God, we don’t ask for more so we can boast in our own strength, but so your power can be made perfect in our weakness. May your hand be upon us—guiding, protecting, providing, and encouraging. Let us bear your fingerprint everywhere we go, leaving the imprint of Christ in every interaction.“Keep us from evil.” Hide us in Your secret place, Lord. Let us dwell under the shadow of the Almighty, so secure in you that the enemy cannot find us. Jesus, as we abide in you, the Vine, remind us that our true victory is in your presence, not in works. The enemy is defeated, and we rest in your finished work.Lord, this prayer is bold—even audacious—but it is rooted in confidence in your goodness. We declare that what you did for Jabez, you can do in our generation. Awaken us to pray daring prayers, bold, confident prayers—for your kingdom to come and your will to be done in our lives, our families, our workplace, our communities, and our nation.Do it again, Lord. Pour out blessing, expand our borders, keep your hand upon us, and shield us from harm. Make us strong, vibrant, healthy, energetic, thankful legacy people for this generation and the next.We thank you, Lord, for answered prayers—past, present, and future.In Your holy and precious name, Jesus, amen.

Remember, God works in seasons, and He’s always ready to do something fresh and unexpected in our lives. Don’t look back with regret or settle for yesterday’s blessings.

This new month is a doorway to more—more favor, more joy, and more of God’s goodness. Get ready—something new is on the horizon!Heavenly Father,Thank you for guiding us through these 30 days of prayer and growth.

Lord, as you promised in Isaiah 43:19, do a new thing in our lives—make a way where there seems to be no way. Help us stay open to your leading and trust that every closed door is making room for greater blessings. Fill us with hope, faith, and joyful expectation for what’s ahead. Let your favor and goodness flow into our lives, relationships, and work in this new season. Jesus, we commit the next six months to you. We consecrate this new season to you, for your glory and honor.Amen.

Finish Strong—A Blessing for Day 30 of Our Jabez Prayer Journey
Welcome to day 30 of our pursuit of God! What a wonderful month it’s been—so many stories of salvation, reconciliation, healing, provision, and God’s hand of protection and guidance. Let’s press in together on this final day of our annual June Jabez Prayer Challenge. Today, we’re linking arms with believers all over the world and finishing strong with the simple, focused prayer that’s changed countless lives: “God of Israel, bless me indeed, enlarge my territory, may your hand be upon me, and keep me from pain.” And God granted his request.Whether you’ve prayed this every day or are just discovering its power, let’s make it our heart’s cry—trusting that Papa God’s heart and hands are wide open toward us with kindness and generosity.Heavenly Father,Thank you for these thirty days of seeking your face together. As we step into what’s next, bless us indeed—pour out your favor and your goodness. Enlarge our hearts, our influence, and our capacity to receive, love, and serve others. Walk with us every step; may your presence be unmistakable in our homes, workplaces, and communities. Keep us from harm—physical, emotional, financial, and relational. Let your hand be upon us, guiding, protecting, and strengthening. Lord God, our Shepherd, let the blessing of Numbers 6 rest on all who’ve journeyed with us: May your face shine upon us and be gracious to us; lift up our countenance, give us supernatural grace and peace, and let your joy be our strength.Amen.As we close this 30-day journey, I want to thank my co-author, Dr. Amy Lykosh, who helped write Seek for Glory: Praying the Prayer of Jabez, first in 2022 and again this year in an updated edition. Whether you’ve journeyed with us for years or just joined in, Amy Joy and I are honored to pray for you—morning, day, and night.And now, as many priests and pastors have done for centuries, we speak this blessing:May the peace of God, which passes all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord. And the blessing of God Almighty—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—be among you and remain with you always.Amen.

Day 29—Pray Big, Pray for Others!
Welcome to Day 29 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! Today, I want to encourage you to take this powerful prayer beyond your own life and lift up the people around you. The beauty of the Jabez prayer is that it’s not just for our personal breakthrough—it’s a prayer we can pray over our family, friends, co-workers, church, and community. Imagine what would happen if you cried out for the blessing of God’s favor, wisdom, power, provision, and protection over someone else today! Let’s be people who pray this prayer for others, who ask boldly for the living God to enlarge their borders, direct their steps, and fill them with power, provision, and purpose. There’s grace and victory in praying for others—let’s do it together!Heavenly Father,Today, we stand before you, Almighty, asking that you answer our prayers for those you’ve placed in our lives—our family, friends, classmates, neighbors, and coworkers. We lift them up to you, asking that you would indeed bless them. Put out your favor and provision on each one. Enlarge their borders—bring new opportunities, greater influence, and a deeper sense of purpose. Let your hand be with them every step, guiding, protecting, and encouraging them. Keep them from harm and shield them from anything that would bring pain, trouble, or sorrow. Fill them with wisdom, strength, and hope. May they know your peace and your presence in every area of life. Enlarge their territory throughout their lives. May your hand be with them and keep them from harm.Amen.

Day 28–Not A Formula
Welcome to Day 28 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! It’s easy to fall into routines where prayer becomes just another box to check. But the prayer of Jabez—and every prayer—isn’t about reciting words or following a formula. Each new day is a fresh opportunity to step into a living, faith-filled conversation with the living God. Sometimes, even after decades of praying, words can feel dry or stale. That’s when we lean on the Holy Spirit for fresh inspiration and honest faith. Prayer is about relationship, not results. We’re not hoping for a quick win—rather, we’re drawing near to the Lord, God who loves us and wants to be involved in every part of our journey.Let us pray,Heavenly Father,Thank you for inviting us into a true relationship, not a ritual. Today, we confess: we don’t want our prayers to be empty words or stale routines. Holy Spirit, breathe fresh faith and hope into our hearts. Give us the courage to pray honestly, even when we don’t feel like it. Fill our words with life, and meet us right where we are. Like Abraham and Jabez, help us to be God-made people—men and women who trust you, lean on you, and follow you wherever you lead. Bless us with your unlimited goodness. Enlarge your kingdom in us and through us. Let your presence grow in our lives, and keep us from causing pain.Amen.

The God Who Grants—When Bold Prayers Become a Reality
Welcome to Day 27 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! Today, we reach the moment all those bold requests come to a specific response: “And God granted his request.” Not once does Scripture say Jabez was judged for asking too much. Instead, God answered his dream prayers with big blessings. There’s something powerful in knowing our Heavenly Father is not annoyed or angered by our faith-filled, audacious prayers. He delights in doing what we dare to ask, as long as our hearts are set on Him. So, don’t be afraid to pray big—God is still granting answers to requests and breaking through with favor, protection, and provision for those who call on his name.Heavenly Father,Thank you for being the God who hears and answers. Today, I come boldly, like Jabez, to ask for your blessing in every area of my life. Enlarge my territory—not just for my sake, but so your name is honored through my influence and resources. Let your hand be with me every step, guiding and protecting. Keep evil far from me and from those I love. Lord, let your supernatural favor rest on my life and accelerate the breakthroughs I need. Where I have asked, let me see your goodness. Where I have prayed, let me witness your faithfulness. Make my life a testimony to your power to answer prayer; may this be a summer season of reaping and harvest. Amen.

Advancing With Divine Protection. Day 26
Welcome to Day 26 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! Progress is a beautiful thing, but as we move forward, we sometimes find ourselves exposed to new attacks and challenges—just like soldiers advancing into enemy territory. The more ground we gain, the more directions from which adversity can strike. That’s one of the reasons why, as we pray for increase and breakthrough, we would be wise to ask for God’s shield of protection as well. Life’s journey is full of obstacles, disappointments, and moments that test our resolve. But God promises to be our refuge and fortress, our comfort and defender. Today, let’s boldly ask for the Spirit’s covering, for wisdom in every decision, and for the peace that only Christ can bring—even in the middle of the battle.Heavenly Father,We look to you as our shield and protector. As we advance, surround us with your presence on every side. Keep us from pain, disappointment, and the traps of the enemy. Guide our steps and decisions with your wisdom and timing. When storms come, be our comfort; when hardship lingers, be our hope. Send your angels to guard us, and let your Spirit rest on us with grace and peace. Thank you for being near the brokenhearted and faithful in every trial. We trust your love to keep us safe and lead us through every challenge.Amen.

Deliver Us from Evil—Asking God for His True Protection
Welcome to Day 25 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! Today, we focus on one bold request: deliver us from all that harms. The Hebrew word rah covers a broad range of trouble—bad, evil, pain, unhappiness, distress, calamity, sorrow, and grief. Jabez asks God to keep every shade of misery and mischief far from his life. Jesus echoes this for us: “Deliver us from evil.” Sometimes, faith is about asking to avoid the battle, not just to endure it. Why face unnecessary harm if God can shield us by his grace? Like Jabez, we can pray for the precision of God’s protecting hand—keeping us, our families, and our hearts free from all that would cause pain, grief, or loss.Heavenly Father,Thank you for your power to protect and deliver. Keep us far from every form of evil—trouble, harm, sorrow, and temptation. Place your hand over our lives and shield us from attacks, accidents, mischief, and all that would wound or drag us down. Lead us away from the path of temptation and deliver us from the evil one. Let the precision of your finger guide our steps, keeping us safe and whole. May our homes, work, and relationships be guarded by your presence. Make us people of peace, marked by your protection, wisdom, and favor.Amen.

Trusting God with Every Shade of Hurt. Day 24
Welcome to Day 24 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! Trusting God with Every Shade of Hurt. The final request Jabez makes is rich in meaning—across all translations, it’s a longing for protection from harm, evil, and pain in all their forms. Sometimes we pray to be kept from sickness, accidents, or financial loss. Other times, it’s a plea to be shielded from targeted attacks or spiritual oppression. There’s also a deeper cry: “God, remind me who you are. Are you for me? Merciful Father God, don’t let sorrow define my story.” Jesus assures us that his purpose is not to bring pain, but abundant life, so may the life of Christ, the anointed one living in us, break any generational cycles or curses. Heavenly Father,Thank you for being the God who sees every hurt and hears every cry. Keep us from harm, evil, and anything that would bring pain or sorrow. Protect us from sickness, loss, and spiritual oppression. Remind us of your heart—always for us, never against us. Let your gentleness guide us so we never become a source of pain to others. Heal what’s broken in us and keep us from repeating cycles of hurt. Like Jabez, we ask for freedom, protection, and the power of a transformed life that demonstrates your goodness to all. Amen.

Safe and Sound: Asking for Protection and Peace. Day 23
Welcome to Day 23 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! Today, we lean into one of the most heartfelt requests in the prayer of Jabez: “Keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” Across translations, this plea takes many shapes—freedom from evil, rescue from sorrow, a shield from trouble, and a hope for peace in every area of life. Sometimes it’s about being protected from outside threats, and sometimes it’s a cry for relief from inner grief or sorrow. Jabez’s prayer reminds us it’s not selfish to ask for God’s protection and emotional peace. When we ask for God to keep us safe and whole, we’re trusting Him to care for every part of our lives and the lives we serve, help, and touch.Heavenly Father,Thank you for being our shield and our peace. We come to you, like Jabez, asking for your protection—body, mind, and spirit. Keep us from harm and deliver us from anything that causes pain, grief, or sorrow. Guard our hearts against discouragement, anxiety, and fear. Protect our families, our work, and our communities from evil and disaster. Where we have been wounded, bring your healing touch. Where we experience pain from others, give us the grace to forgive, wisdom to navigate how to walk forward, and a gift of compassion out of this experience. Let your comfort and presence be our constant safety and our steady hope. May we walk in freedom, not only spared from harm, but also equipped to bless others with your peace.Amen.

Living Over Your Head—The Gift of Dependance. Day 22
Welcome to Day 22 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! If you’ve ever felt in over your head, you’re in good company. So many times, the very evidence that we’re walking by faith is that we feel outmatched, unqualified, or just plain stretched. Apostle Paul said it straight: God’s power is made perfect in our weakness, not our strength. Dependence isn’t a flaw—it’s a sign we’re right where Jesus wants us. That unsettled feeling? It’s actually the proof that God’s hand is on your life and that you’re aiming for something so big, only he can make it happen. The comfort zone is safe, but the faith zone is where God shows up and does miracles.Heavenly Father,Thank you for choosing us for things that are bigger than our strength or experience. Teach us your ways and remind us that your grace is enough, even when we feel weak or overwhelmed. Help us to rest in the truth that it’s not by might, nor by power, but by your Spirit. May your anointing flow through us in every area of our lives—work, ministry, business, and family. Let your kingdom come and your will be done in us and through us. Keep us dependent on you, trusting your hand to guide, protect, and provide. Like Jabez, we ask for blessing, expansion, and your constant presence.Amen.

Wisdom for the Journey-Led by God’s Spirit. Day 21
Welcome to Day 21 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! Sometimes what we need most isn’t just another open door or bigger opportunity—it’s wisdom for the road ahead. The book of James tells us that if anyone of us lacks wisdom, we should just ask, and God will give generously—no strings attached, no holding back. Scripture describes God's wisdom as multifaceted: it brings understanding, counsel, strength, knowledge, and a deep awe of the Lord. There are moments when we’re feel desperate for more than just good ideas—we need strategy, clarity, and strength to execute what God has placed in our hands. Let’s cry out for the spirit of wisdom to rest on us today.Heavenly Father,We come to you grateful for your promise to give wisdom freely. We admit we need your extraordinary wisdom and strength—not just for the big decisions, but for every step of this journey. fill us with your spirit of wisdom and revelation. Give us the understanding to see what you see, the counsel to choose well, and the strength to follow through. Help us execute your plans with loyalty and courage. Keep us from anything that would cause pain or pull us off course. Just as you answered Jabez, we ask you to bless our lives and lead us into the land you have for us.Amen.

Blessings Beyond The Barrier—A Surge of God’s Goodness. Day 20
Welcome to Day 20 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! As we keep moving forward, we see a pattern: every time we ask for God’s blessing, he answers—sometimes in ways that stretch us even further. He not only provides, but he expands our influence, gives us more to manage, and then stands beside us, guiding our next steps. But sometimes, in the midst of blessing and increase, we run into feelings of overwhelm, heaviness, or even dread. The Hebrew word “mikvah” points to this—an atmosphere that can feel like a cloud hanging over us. Yet Jesus promises life, and life to the full! When we feel pressed or weighed down, hope is God’s answer, and his blessing always comes with new beginnings.Heavenly Father,We come to you today, boldly asking for your blessing—not just a little, but an overflow! Like Jabez and the revivalists of old, we plead, “Bless us indeed!” Fill our lives with your presence, your peace, and your wisdom. Where we’ve felt pain or disappointment, breathe new hope and turn our mourning into dancing. Anchor our identity in you, and help us yield our emotions and thoughts to your loving care. Holy Spirit, release a fresh surge of supernatural favor and anointing over our loved ones and us. Let your revelation, goodness, and grace overflow in every area. We are believing for miracles, new beginnings, and more of your unlimited goodness.Amen.

Guided, Guarded, and Graced by the Hand of God. Day 19
Welcome to Day 19 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! There’s nothing like the gentle, powerful touch of a loving parent’s hand. Think about it—those hands do it all: they protect, provide, teach, encourage, and celebrate with us. Scripture is full of reminders that God’s hand is just like that—strong and sure, guiding us through every season, every challenge, every dream. When we pray, “Lord, let your hand be with me,” we’re asking for his presence in all we do—for wisdom, direction, protection, and blessing. Just as a parent instinctively shields, lifts, and cheers on their child, so our Heavenly Father promises to lead us. His hand on your life means provision is coming, favor is rising, and new doors are opening!Heavenly Father,Thank you for your hand that leads, protects, and provides. Like a loving parent, you cover us with tender care, lift us up in weakness, and cheer us on in every season. Today, we boldly ask: let your hand be with us in all we do. Be our guide when the path is uncertain, our shield in times of trouble, and our strength when we are weary. Teach us, correct us, and encourage us with your gentle touch. Open our eyes to your direction, let your wisdom and favor rest on us, and keep us on your path. We believe that with your hand upon us, circumstances can change—expansion is coming, increase is on the way!To God be the glory. Amen.

Don’t Settle—Ask God for More. Day 18
Welcome to Day 18 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! Today, we’re not just asking for blessing—we’re requesting our investment return for increase. God never meant for His people to live small, weary, or stuck in hopeless routines. He promises abundant life, overflowing with joy, hope, and purpose. Sometimes we settle for less because we simply don’t know more is possible. But today, let’s break that narrative! Let’s ask God to enlarge our influence, expand our impact, and fill our lives with his supernatural favor. He’s ready to do more, if we’ll dare to pray for it. Are you hungry for more of God? Let’s press in together and believe him for true increase.Heavenly Father,We come to you, pounding on the table, desperate for more. Increase our influence, expand our borders, and multiply every good thing in our lives. Break off every spirit of weariness and heaviness, any doubt and unbelief must go. Mocking spirit leave us in Jesus name.Now, Papa God, may we inherit the promise of walking in the abundant life that your Son, Jesus promised! Pour out your favor, authority, and supernatural resources. Grow our investments, our families, our work, our ministries, and our capacity to bless others. Fill us with fresh knowledge, wisdom, and boldness to pray daring prayers. Lord, may your hand be upon us; protect us from harm as you bring increase in every area. Let your kingdom come in us and through us.Thank you for the more—more presence, more power, more provision, more protection, more of your pathways, and more of your peace.Amen.

Your Story Can Set Others Free—Day 17
We’re still contending for breakthrough on Day 17 of our Jabez journey! The New Testament is full of stories of people who encountered Jesus, experienced transformation, and then carried that hope to others. The Samaritan woman, the delivered man, the healed paralytic—all became powerful witnesses, sharing what God had done for them. That’s what it means to extend your influence! When God moves in your life—when He heals, rescues, or restores—you’re equipped to share that hope with someone else. Scripture calls us to always be ready to give an answer for the hope we have. Today, let’s open our hearts to become living testimonies, ready to imitate Jesus and release a breakthrough into the lives of others.Heavenly Father,Thank You for every breakthrough, healing, and restoration you’ve given us. Make us ready to share our hope with boldness and joy. Father God, as you set us free, help us point others to freedom in you. As you heal us, open doors for us to pray for others. As you bless us, let us speak the good news of blessing to those around us. Holy Spirit, fill us with courage and compassion to bring Jesus and his heart wherever we go. Keep us from pain, and let your power be strong in us. Lord, may we be living witnesses of your goodness and love to many. Amen.
