Praying That People Will See the Truth of Jesus In Me

A very encouraging exchange happened to me several years ago. A person who was somewhat skeptical about Christianity posed this question to me regarding my faith in Christ, “You really believe this stuff, don’t you?”

I’m not even sure the person meant it in a complimentary way, but I was encouraged and received it as a compliment.

PRAYER:  Lord Jesus, I pray that you would be alive in me in such an unmistakably authentic way that the people I encounter would say, “Hmm, this Jesus stuff must be real and life in Him must be true because I believe I genuinely see it in this person.”

The Importance of Authentic Christianity

Sometimes when Christian ministers—like myself—speak it doesn’t connect with people and what we say does not resonate as truth because they can tell we have not been tested and the reality of God in us is not deep, significant and undeniable.

People are savvy and they can tell if we’re just spewing a lot of hot air.

Prayer: Lord, help me to actually know you in such a way that the truth people see in me is You in a way which is authentic, attractive and clearly evident.
