27. Lord, from this moment forward, I pray that you will give me a burden and concern for people who do not yet know you. Help me to see them as you do. Help me to care enough to share your gospel with them. Give me that burden for the lost like you and the apostle Paul and Nehemiah had. Lord, I admit that at times I am afraid to step out. Please give me a new boldness to do that. I thank you in advance, Lord. In Jesus' name I pray, amen. Greg Laurie
