prayer warriors (following Jesus Christ, everyone welcome)

The apostle Paul may be considered one of the most bold and courageous ambassadors of the Gospel, but even he got butterflies in his stomach. In one paragraph, he twice asks for prayer for courage in sharing the truth of the Gospel. How odd to think that even the great apostle felt fear.We can identify with Paul's struggle. When it comes to declaring the Gospel, whether pointing an unbeliever to Christ, or exposing sin in the life of a fellow believer, many would rather drop broad hints and hope that the Holy Spirit would do the rest. Often we are an emotional mixed bag, fearful of saying the right thing in the wrong place or the wrong thing in the right place.Sometimes we are fearful of not only declaring the Gospel but of demonstrating it. Compassion may have suited our Lord, but perhaps we would rather drop coins in a Salvation Army bucket and remain at an arm's-length distance from people with real hurts.Fear is natural for humans. Fearlessness is a supernatural grace God gives when we, like Paul, pray and ask for courage.We may fumble with what to say, when and how to say it; we may struggle with what to do, when and how to do it. That's why prayer is the best preface to either declaring or demonstrating the Gospel. The Lord is our resource for courage.
Just thought I would share this, it is from my bible app on my phone.
 
Hey everyone. Need some big prayers. This will be a little difficult. My husband and I are struggling financially. We work decent job with good pay but with the rise in gas and food prices and the normal bills... we are barely making it paycheck to paycheck. I won't go into too much detail but it's at the point to cut back even more so. Our jobs, we'll one of my jobs is kinda unstable. Not exactly sure what kind of prayer needs to be said but they are needed. I would greatly appreciate my brothers and sisters in our God and Messiah if you keep my husband and I in your prayers.

Additionally, I might go MIA from BYC for a few days. Just need to unplug for a bit.

Thanks in advance.
