HOPE: Be ready to explain to everyone the reason for the hope inside you - 1 Peter 3:15

But honor the Messiah as LORD in your hearts. Always be ready to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you. However, do this with gentleness and respect, keeping your conscience clear, so that when you are accused, as those who denounce your Christian life will be put to shame. 1 Peter 3:15-16

Prayer & Praise:
I confess You, Holy Messiah, as LORD of my life. I want to bring honor to Your name today by demonstrating that You live in my heart through my actions and words that reflect Your love, gentleness, and respect. Prepare me today, Holy Spirit, to confidently share the hope that Jesus Christ has given me with a family member, acquaintance, or stranger You bring into my path who feels hopeless and is critical of Christians. I ask this, Father God, in the mighty name of Jesus my Savior.
