Lesson Prayer

Life-giving Father, you sent your servant Paul out into the world to proclaim the power of Jesus. Give us that same boldness and confidence to bear witness to your name, that people may turn from the idols of this world to the True and Living God. Help us to share your holy Word with others so that they would come to know your transforming power. We pray this in Jesus’ holy name. Amen.
