Who in you school would you hate to have to go and talk to about Jesus? Jot down the names of one or two people you are really scared of.

Acts 9:10-19
Just about the last thing in the world Ananias wanted to do was to go and talk to Saul. Everyone knew that Saul wanted to wipe out all Christians (v13). But God doesn't make mistakes. So Ananias did as he was asked (v17). And he found out that God had in fact changed Saul from a persecutor of Christians into a Christian friend.
God can change the "unchangeable" people in your life, too.
PRAY
. . . for someone you know who you think would never become a Christian in a million years. (Maybe one of those people you wrote down above). Pray that the Holy Spirit will help you to break down some of the barriers between you and them.

Sometimes the very desire for action leads to the neglect of action. Don't fret! Face challenges with courage and determination. Overcome what barriers there may be which hinder your quest for growth.
How will the Lord use your life? Is there one thing you can do to make life better for someone else?
Knock on their door. Remain positively focused. The possibilities are endless.
God expects us to use our brains and figure out what we can do to make a difference. At the same time, be assured that the fingerprints of God is at work.....
You'll find yourself on a joyful adventure of the heart!!
