For last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me, 24and he said, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul,

we want to hear what you believe, for the only thing we know about this movement is that it is denounced everywhere.

He welcomed all who visited him, 31boldly proclaiming the Kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ. And no one tried to stop him.

Lord God my Father,

Thank you for loving me even when I did not seek you. Now I ask you to open my heart to the Truth you wish me to be. Allow me to know you and protect me from deceit. Allow me to tell your truth in ways it is taken well by others.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
