At once Jesus spoke to them, "Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid." Peter said to him in reply, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water." He said, "Come." Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus. (Matthew 14: 27-29)
For some, coming to the sidewalk to pray at Planned Parenthood may be a big uncomfortable step. Much like Peter's first step out of the boat to walk on the water toward Jesus. Just like Jesus beckoned to Peter to "Come". Jesus beckons to all to "Come" to the sidewalk to witness for life and to witness to their faith in Him. No one need be afraid because Jesus is already there waiting with his outstretched hand.

Missionary Prayer
By: Raymond Hammer
Lord, help me realize
my first task in approaching
another people,
another culture,
another religion,
is to take off my shoes,
for the place I am approaching is holy.
Else I find myself
treading on another's dreams
More serious still,
I may forget,
that You, Lord, are present
before my arrival.
Amen.
