Scripture for Reflection and Preparation (HCSB)

Matthew 6:9-15

“9 ‘Therefore, you should pray like this: Our Father in heaven, Your name be honored as holy.  10 Your kingdom come.  Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  11 Give us today our daily bread.  12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.  13 And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.  [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.  Amen.]  14 ‘For if you forgive people their wrongdoing, your heavenly Father will forgive you as well.  15 But if you don't forgive people, your Father will not forgive your wrongdoing.’”

Jeremiah 1:6-8

“6 Then I said, ‘Ah, Lord God!  Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.’  7 But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not say, “I am only a youth”; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.  8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares the Lord.’”

Acts 4:29-31

“29 ‘And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness, 30 while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.’  31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.”
