You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, David: "'Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?”
Indeed, there are those here in Indianapolis who are antagonistic toward your holy servant Jesus, those who either reject His deity and saving power, or who are simply indifferent.
These people are in our families, schools, workplaces and communities. They are all around us.
But how can they call on Jesus to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?
How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news! Our feet!
Now, Lord, consider their threats, rejections and indifference toward Jesus and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Fill us with your Holy Spirit so we can speak the word of God boldly.
Stretch out your hand to heal the spiritually-hardened hearts among us through the name of your holy servant Jesus.
We thank you in advance for the mighty work that you’re going to do in us and in the hearts of those who do not yet believe. Thank you, thank you, thank you that you are going to use us to reach people for Jesus.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
