Boldness

Courage is an area that we all struggle with. We all have said at some point in our lives "I'm scared".

Peter and John are the individuals speaking in this verse, and you would think that courage would be something they weren't lacking because they had the opportunity to live with Jesus!

However this verse shows us that we are all human and that even when we are lacking in courage, we can pray to God and He will fill us with the boldness we need to speak His word in confidence.

Prayer: God, thank you for allowing me to have opportunities where I can ask you for boldness. Whenever I am fearful, fill me with boldness and remind me that I have no reason to be afraid.

In Jesus name, Amen.

Courage is a virtue. Virtues help build character.

So you say you're young?

Many times Christians tend to discredit themselves simply because of their age. They tend to think "how could God use me? I'm so young" or "I can't tell people about God now, that's for old pastors". Honestly that's an absolute lie. God desires to use you now in your youth! Each one of us posses individual talents that we can use to bring glory to God's kingdom and the best time to start is now! So forget about your age, and let God begin to use you today.
