Speak plainly about who Jesus is, based on what you have seen him do

Wait until every argument is settled so you never sound uncertain

Talk only about your own growth and avoid naming Jesus directly

Give a vague religious answer so the conversation stays comfortable

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and need your mercy. Open my eyes to who you are. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and trust you as my Lord and Savior. Let my life confess you clearly and follow you faithfully. Amen.

Open My Eyes, Lord Jesus

Lord, revive your Church so we see Jesus clearly and speak of him with courage. Where we have been silent, give us plain words; where we have been uncertain, give us sight; where we have been afraid, make us bold witnesses to your Son. Awaken us to recognize him and answer rightly, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

A Church That Answers Clearly

Father, thank you for opening eyes and giving clear sight of Jesus. Thank you for every moment you bring me from confusion to confession. Teach me to be grateful for the light you give, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Thank You for Clear Sight

Father, free me from fear that keeps me quiet when I should speak of Jesus. Give me courage to answer plainly and kindly, and to honor him with my words, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Free Me From Silence

Pray by naming one person who has asked you about Jesus. Ask God for one simple sentence that is honest, calm, and true. Ask him to keep you from fear and from exaggeration, and to help you speak plainly about what you know.

Pray for a Simple Answer

Pray for people who are still asking about Jesus: for open minds, patient questions, and a readiness to see who he is. Pray also for believers to answer with humility and clarity, pointing beyond themselves to Christ.

So they questioned the blind man once more, “What do you say about Him , since He opened your eyes ?” But he answered, “He is a prophet.”
