“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have"

1 Peter 3:15

One of the most important aspects of sharing the Gospel is being able to share with others just why having a relationship with God is important. So, we want to invite you to take some time in quiet prayer to reflect with God on what impact He has made on your life so far.

Step 1:

Close your eyes and ask Jesus now to show you that He is real and that He loves you. You can say something like "Jesus, I invite you in" or "Come Holy Spirit." Wait and listen. You can write down anything you feel the Lord saying to you.

Step 2:

Now, still in quiet prayer, think about if you have had a significant encounter with God that changed the course of your life? If so, what happened? Write it down. You can be as specific or as general as you feel led.

Step 3:

If you can't think of one big moment, can you think of 3 times in your life where you knew God was real and felt His love for you? Write them down. If nothing comes to mind, write down things you are grateful for in your life and some memories may come.

Step 4:

Now, think about the difference that Jesus has made in your life. Write down some ways that knowing Jesus and having faith has made you into a more joyful, loving, or peaceful person in your daily life.

Step 5:

Finally, in one sentence, why would you say having God in your life is better than not having God in your life?

You may need more than one session of prayer to be able to answer all of these.

That's okay - take your time and keep coming back to it until you have been able to write something meaningful that reflects your journey with God.
