Prayer for Bold Influence
Father,
I used to think I needed to wait for permission—or a title—to make a difference.

• Silence the lie that says I’m “too ______” to be used
• Fuel me to lead in ordinary moments
• Let my life preach louder than my words

Today, I’ll:
💬 Speak life when gossip tempts me
❤️ Choose love when exclusion feels easier
✝️ Point to Jesus—even if it’s awkward

In His name, Amen.
