A Prayer for Boldness to Share the Gospel
Fear so often keeps our faith quiet. Like the first believers, this is a prayer for boldness to speak of Jesus with love and courage.
Lord, You have given me good news too wonderful to keep silent.
Forgive my fear, and fill me with holy boldness.
Give me the right words and the right moment.
Let my life and my words point clearly to Jesus.
Use me to bring someone home. Amen.
“And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word”
Acts 4:29
You don’t have to pray alone
On The Living Bread you can ask the family of God to pray for you and watch prayers be answered, or pray for someone else who needs it today. It is free, and you are welcome exactly as you are.

Questions people ask
What Scripture is a prayer for boldness to share the gospel built on?
It rests on Acts 4:29. The prayer above is written in plain words around that passage, and the verse is quoted from the stored text, not from memory.
What if I have no words to pray for boldness to share the gospel?
Start with the first line of the prayer above and stop there if that is all you can say. God hears the first honest sentence. You can also ask the family of God on The Living Bread to pray with you and for you.
Can I pray this for someone else?
Yes. Change the first person to their name and pray the same lines for them. Praying for others is part of loving one another, and you can ask the family of God to join you.
Pray this
Lord Christ, you love the people of For Boldness more than we can. We bring you boldness, those who dont know christ, revival. Let your Body in that place love one another and be one. In the name of Jesus, amen.
