Do not be afraid any longer.

Acts 18:9-11, And the Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent; for I am with you, and no man will attack you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city.” And he settled there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

Paul received this encouragement from God in the face of opposition from his own people. It might seem like things are coming against us, sometimes from our own family! He is faithful to provide the encouragement we need, to bring forth His fruit and His light.

We know that You have many people in this city; give us the boldness to find them and to speak Your word as did the Apostle Paul!
