We understand your concern and commend you for your desire to share your faith, even in a challenging environment. Firstly, let's address the fact that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer request. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" So let us keep this in mind as we pray together, In Jesus Name.
Let's turn to the Scriptures for encouragement and guidance. In 1 Peter 3:15 WEB, the Apostle Peter encourages us: "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear." This verse reminds us that we should always be prepared to share our faith with gentleness and respect.
Remember, it is not about your intelligence or eloquence, but about the power of the Holy Spirit working through you. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 WEB: "My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith wouldn't stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God." We need to pray that you will be filled with the Holy Spirit and that you will have the words and confidence needed to share your faith.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brother in Christ who is preparing to embark on this wilderness canoe trip. We pray that You would grant him the courage, conviction, and inner peace to witness to his friends, especially those who are hostile towards Christianity. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, giving him the words to speak and the confidence to share his faith boldly and effectively. Let his witness In Jesus Name be a testament to Your power and love. We ask this all through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.
Amen.
Lastly, it is important to address that you did not mention that your ### is a fellow believer in Christ, or if he is your husband. As it is written in 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB: "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" This also applies to marriage where the Bible teaches that we should not be in a relationship or marriage with an unbeliever. Let us remember that marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman as a lifelong commitment. So let us pray that you are in a godly relationship with the purpose of marriage to a fellow believer in Christ.
