DAY 17: BOLDNESS IN OPPOSITION

Prayer Topic: Seek courage and boldness from the Holy Spirit to stand firm in your faith.

Facing opposition can make us want to retreat, but Acts 4:31 shows us the power of boldness that comes from the Holy Spirit. After praying, the early believers were filled with the Holy Spirit and empowered to speak God’s word with boldness, even in the face of intense opposition. This same boldness is available to us today as we press on through challenges. When life’s pressures try to silence our faith or make us doubt, prayer and the Holy Spirit can give us the courage to stand firm and speak truth. Boldness doesn’t mean being confrontational or brash—it’s about confidently living out our faith, knowing that God is with us. As you press on, ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with boldness, not only to endure opposition but to be a light to others through your words and actions.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

1. What opposition are you currently facing, and how can prayer empower you to stand firm?
2. What practical steps can you take to ensure that your boldness reflects God’s love and truth?
