WEEK THREE: DAY 21

You Are My Witnesses

Return to This Week’s Reading

Isaiah 43

Focus Scripture

“You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he.”

Isaiah 43:10

Prepare Your Heart

21 days ago, we began by seeking God’s presence. Today we finish by offering Him our lives. God tells His people that they are His witnesses. We know Him so that we can make Him known. The end of these 21 days is not the end of anything. It is an invitation to keep seeking, praying, loving, serving, and speaking wherever Jesus sends us.

Pray

• Thank God for anything He has shown you or changed in you during these 21 days.

• Ask Him to help you continue seeking His presence when this guide is over.

• Offer your life to Him again, including your home, work, relationships, resources, gifts, plans, and future.

• Ask God where He is calling you to take a next step in Knowing Christ, Becoming a Family, or Loving Your Neighbor.

• Pray for our neighborhoods and communities throughout Western North Carolina. Ask God to make the good news of Jesus visible through His church.

• Pray for the Parent Summit on September 26. Ask God to strengthen parents and families and use the event to point people toward Christ.

• Pray ahead for the Fall Festival on October 17. Ask God to use it to build relationships with hundreds of people in our community.

• Pray for October 18, as we celebrate our church’s 4th birthday and invite our One Mores. Ask God even now for salvations and baptisms.

• Finally, pray for your One More by name. Ask God to save them, and tell the Lord that you are willing to be used however He chooses.

Do not finish these 21 days by just closing this page. Finish by opening your heart and your hands.

One More

Take the next step. Invite them. Share a meal. Tell your story. Ask the question. Share the gospel. Keep praying. Whatever you believe the next faithful step is, take it courageously for Jesus’ sake.
