He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:8)Prayer Direction
Ask God to give you boldness to live for Him and not be intimidated by the people around you (even other Christians). Pray for courage to speak the truth in love, with boldness. Praise God for the hope of heaven and the salvation that is freely offered in Jesus.“Live It!” Challenge
Truth-Telling - What is one word of truth you know God wants you to speak to someone in your life, but you have been holding back because of fear and worry? Pray about what God would have you say, when you should say it, and the tone you should have when you speak these words. Then, in love and with boldness, speak the truth for the sake of healing, growth, and the glory of God.Small Group Discussion
