A Prayer for a Spirit of Boldness
By: Kristine Brown "Since this new way gives us such confidence, we can be very bold." (2 Corinthians 3:12 NLT) I've never thought of myself as a bold person. Honestly, sometimes I feel like the opposite of bold. In the past, I've held back from following God's leading for fear of being thought of as pushy or overbearing. But maybe I've misunderstood what being bold really means. In the apostle Paul's letter to the Corinthians, he encouraged believers with this truth, "Since this new way gives us such confidence, we can be very bold." The word boldness can be defined as a willingness to take risks. A bold person has the courage to do the things she feels called by God to do. That's the kind of boldness I want. The kind that shows with certainty, the sinless Savior of the world is at work in my life. The kind that draws others to God when I reach out in love to share His goodness with hurting people. |
