My prayer for today.

I am overall a quiet person. My closest friends might not think so... but I am. I do not always voice my opinion or tell people what I am really thinking. I do not like arguing or debating. I like to think that I bring a sense of calm to people around me. My husband might not agree with the "I do not like arguing" statement, but I really don't. I do argue with those I am most comfortable with, and I know I need to work on that. I like to stay in the background when uncomfortable situations arise. And for the most part, I should stay quiet. But there are times that I do need to speak up... and this I need to learn.

I am overall a quiet person. I tend not to speak up when I have a great opportunity to witness to others around me because I fear I won't say the right thing, or I'll cause an argument. I need to work on that quietness. God has really been pressing on my heart to speak up and encourage those around me with God's word. I know, that by myself I am unable to do that. So this is my prayer today:

God - please give me the courage and the words to share your gospel and grace message to those around me. Allow YOU to shine through my actions and words. Be with my family members and friends who do not know you, Allow my actions to be a witness to Your testimony and love. And when a conversation arises that I can share you with them, help me to do dive in and share your Word. Amen.
