...and my speech and my message

were not in plausible words of wisdom,

but in demonstration of the Spirit

                   and of power,

that your faith might not rest

   in the wisdom of men

but in the power of God.

              2 Corinthians 2. 4-5

(Trusting what we say and teach

      and write and proclaim

would point others not to us

          but to God.

We need not stand in the way

   or take credit for what

   God is doing through us.   

It has nothing to do

     with being talented at speaking,

           only to be faithful

    for His purposes and glory

    in whatever is before us.

God gives us the words.

God makes them stick.)

O LORD,

Guide our steps and thoughts

    and even our conversations

that we would bring Your Word

            right into what we say.

Equip us that we would be ready

    to be a witness to You

and speak of You

    in words others can understand.

Use us for Your kingdom

   even in ways we will never know.

You have strategically placed us

    right here in this moment of time

    for Your glory.

Grant us the courage

            to boldly speak.

We can never know how

       You have appointed us.
