Whether he knew the servant girl who spoke

Whether he was planning to leave the courtyard

Identify with Jesus honestly, even if it is uncomfortable

Treat faith as something only private and never spoken

Wait for a better moment and avoid answering now

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned, and I have often hidden or denied you when I should have stood with you. I cannot save myself. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and receive you as my Lord and Savior. Please forgive me, make me yours, and give me courage to follow you openly. Amen.

Lord Jesus, Make Me Yours

Lord, revive your Church where fear has made us silent and comfortable. Where we have denied you by our hesitation, awaken repentance, courage, and simple honesty. Make us unashamed to belong to Christ, and let our lips and lives agree. in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Awaken Your Church to Speak Your Name

Father, forgive me for the times I have blended in, stayed vague, or hidden my allegiance to Jesus to protect myself. Wash away my fear of people, and give me a steady heart that speaks truth with humility. in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Forgive My Hiddenness

Name one setting where you are tempted to stay silent about Jesus. Ask God for courage, then ask him for one honest sentence you can speak and one loving action you can take.

Pray for Courage in the Moment

Pray over these: fear of rejection; desire to please people; a habit of evasive speech; courage to identify with Jesus clearly and kindly.

Topics for a Steady Witness

Father, when I feel ashamed or afraid to be known as yours, steady my heart. Remind me that Jesus sees me fully and still calls me to follow him, and give me peace to stand with him without fear. in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “You are not also among His  disciples, are you?” He denied  it and said, “I am not.”
