Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone.—Colossians 4:5-6 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Help me to live wisely among those that are not believers, so that I might make the most of every opportunity to offer them truth and grace, spoken in love.
Help me not to act foolishly—speaking thoughtlessly or reacting rashly toward others—but rather to walk in the wisdom that comes from knowing Your Word and applying it to my life with willing obedience.
Help me to watch for how You are working in the hearts of those around me and to make the most of every opportunity to show Your love to them—especially to those who do not know You as their Savior.
When I speak, fill my mouth with Your words, so my conversation would not be my own—so they would be drawn to You, not driven away.
Help me always give the right response in every interaction that I have with them—that response which is crafted with grace and truth, and wrapped in the beauty of Your unfailing love for them.
Help me to live wisely among those that are not believers, so that I might make the most of every opportunity to offer them truth and grace, spoken in love.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
