Be Bold for Others
After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.—Acts 4:31 (NIV)
If you feel overwhelmed by the problems that others face—in your own family, your neighborhood, or the world—pray. Ask God to show you where you are most needed and offer your time, energy and prayers to the cause.
Heavenly Father, make me bold in service for You.
