Today’s prayer
Written prayerLord, when the pressure of being a follower of Christ becomes too much for me, strengthen my stance so that I do not denounce You like Peter. Fortify my faith so that I may stand resolute and sure that being close to You and being associated with You is the best thing that I can do. In the same way Jesus stood unafraid to announce His identity, I too will be unafraid when I am asked who I am and what I've been called to do. I will not shrink and I will not cower under the pressure of the scrutiny and in the midst of emotional and verbal beatings. I will not sway from who You've called me to be. For if I do not stand up for myself then who else will stand up for me? May my strength come from Your finished work on the cross Jesus. May my joy come from knowing that You've made a way when there was no way. I am declaring right now that the prophecy of greatness over my life will materialize and flourish because You’ve taken the weight of my shame and insecurities to the cross of Calvary. It is there that the green light was given for me to live and succeed.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
