Prayer prompt: For the church to bear witness to Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Prayer: Almighty God, your kingdom is unshakeable because you are its foundation and builder (1 Pet. 2:5). Lord, you alone are the author and perfecter of our faith (Heb. 12:2). Help your people believe that the Holy Spirit lives in us and empowers us to be your witnesses here, near, and far (Acts 1:8). Transform our hearts and minds through your Word. Help us to be bold and open our mouths to testify of the grace and forgiveness found in Christ alone (Eph. 6:19-20).
