Messengers of His gospel: Receive wisdom

Lord, forgive me when I disown you, either through my silence, words, or actions. May I hear the cock crow and weep when I do this.

Like Peter, it is easy to feel bold when surrounded by other believers and then lose our courage in a more threatening situation. What might be at risk if you were to witness to your faith in Jesus – at work, in your family, or with your friends? What desires influence your sense of risk? Perhaps your desire for approval, promotion, conflict avoidance, or a quiet life? Ask God if any of these desires have grown too strong and need to be checked.
