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 do not believe—living in this world, but not being of this world—that by my life, I might make the most of every opportunity You place before me to make a difference in their lives.
Help me to guard my heart
against being foolish—against anything that would tempt me to act thoughtlessly
or react rashly toward others—against anything that would keep me from fully
following Your plan for my life today.
Help me to be sensitive to
Your Spirit moving in the hearts of those around me and make the most of every
opportunity to show Your love to others—especially to those who do not know You
as their Savior.
When I speak, fill my
mouth with Your words of Truth—so
that Your Spirit would convict them of their sin and my conversation would draw
them to You, not drive them away.
Grant
me the wisdom to give the best answer to any questions they might ask, by responding
with Truth from Your Word—Truth that is wrapped in Your unfailing Love for them.
Help me to live wisely among those that do not believe—living in this world, but not being of this world—that by my life, I might make the most of every opportunity You place before me to make a difference in their lives.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
