Fill the silence with your best guess so you can sound helpful

Shift the topic to avoid looking unprepared

Give a confident answer and hope it turns out right

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and that I cannot save myself. I turn from my sin and ask you to forgive me. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I confess you as Lord and open my life to you. Lead me in your truth and keep me close to you. Amen.

Lord, Lead Me to You

Lord, revive your Church where we have grown uncertain or timid. Make us humble enough to admit when we do not know, and faithful enough to keep seeking your Son with honesty. Renew our witness and draw many to Christ, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Revive Your Church to Speak Truthfully

Pray by naming one situation where you are tempted to guess. Ask God for the humility to say what is true, the wisdom to say 'I do not know' when needed, and the courage to take the next faithful step.

Pray Before You Answer

Bring to God any habit of pretending, overexplaining, or answering too quickly. Ask him to forgive your pride and to make you a truthful, humble witness.

Honest Before God

Pray for someone who is searching for Jesus and feels unsure where to find him. Ask God to place faithful people near them, guide their steps clearly, and make Christ known to them.

For Those Searching for Jesus

Thank God that he welcomes honesty and is not threatened by your questions. Praise him that you can come to him without pretending, and ask him to keep leading you in truth.

Thank You for Honest Questions
