Do what you didn’t do!
This week I challenged you to live missionally. You hopefully felt convicted as well as encouraged. I also hope that you put into action the action steps I gave. But here is the truth—I bet there are one or two that you forgot or avoided. It’s natural—because of fear or busyness.
Rather than adding something else to your plate, I’m going to remind you of the steps I offered in order to encourage you to pick up what you failed to practice.
Day 1
One thought to consider:
What if the most important thing God needs from you right now is not more knowledge, but simply your willingness to be available?
One Action Step: Write down one sentence about what Jesus has done for you recently (mercy, peace, forgiveness, help). Practice saying it out loud once today—prepare your heart to share it naturally when the moment comes.
Day 2
One thought to consider:
What if the most important thing God needs from you right now is not more knowledge, but simply your willingness to be available?
One Action Step: Write down one sentence about what Jesus has done for you recently (mercy, peace, forgiveness, help). Practice saying it out loud once today—prepare your heart to share it naturally when the moment comes in the normal places of life!
Day 3
One thought to consider:
What might happen if you prayed for the people in your mission field more than you tried to “say the right thing” to them?
Action Step: Pick one person you are around that you care about. From now until Sunday, pray one specific thing for them each day (e.g., peace at home, healing, openness to God, strength in a struggle). Let prayer do the heavy lifting.
Day 4
One thought to consider:
If being a witness simply means “telling what you’ve seen,” what is one small thing you’ve genuinely seen Jesus do in your life lately?
One Action Step: Write or record a 2–3 sentence version of that moment. Keep it simple and honest. Rehearse saying it naturally (not as a speech) so it’s ready when God opens a door.
These should now read smoothly and cleanly while still sounding exactly like you. Let me know if you’d like Day 5 expanded with a closing encouragement or prayer, or if you want any other tweaks!
