Bible Verse:1 Peter 3:15“But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.”Application:This verse instructs us to be ready to share with others why we place our hope in Christ. Our testimony can be one of the most powerful ways we share our faith. Always be willing to explain the foundation of your hope and your faith, doing so with both gentleness and respect. Being quick to listen and slow to offend builds bridges for sharing the gospel more effectively.Custom Prayer:Lord Jesus, help me to always hold You as central in my heart and life. Let Your hope shine brightly so others may be drawn to it. When opportunities arise to share my faith, give me courage and the words to speak. Help my steps exemplify Your love and truth, and teach me to respond to others with gentleness and respect. May I witness and live by the hope that I have found in You. Amen.
