Listen to the different views, then speak clearly about Jesus

Repeat the popular answer to keep things easy

Let others decide before you think it through

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and need your mercy. I have listened to many voices and have not trusted you as I should. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and open my life to you. Be my Lord and my Savior, and teach me to know you truly. Amen.

Receive the Lord Jesus

Lord, wake up your Church with a clear sight of Jesus. Where we have been timid, confused, or silent, give us courage to ask honest questions and speak the truth with love. Make us a people who know your Son and help others see him clearly, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Make Your Church Clear About Jesus

Name the voices that shape your view of Jesus, ask God to sift what is true from what is not, and ask for one clear next step of faith today.

Pray for Clarity When Voices Differ

Bring these to God: thanks that Jesus does not avoid hard questions; gratitude for the chance to seek truth; and praise that he leads his followers into deeper understanding.

Thank God for Honest Questions

Father, I pray for friends, family, and neighbors who are unsure who Jesus is. Give them open hearts, honest conversations, and a true glimpse of your Son, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

For Friends Who Are Unsure

Confess any time you have repeated other people's opinions about Jesus without seeking him yourself. Ask for a humble heart that listens well, tests what is said, and follows what is true.

Seek Jesus for Yourself
