Chairman John Hope Bryant and his wife, Chaitra Dalton Bryant, were guests of the President and First Lady at the White House State Dinner honoring Kenyan President William Ruto.
God reminded me that He had orchestrated this encounter. So often, we allow someone’s title or success to intimidate us into silence. But
that’s not how God works. He positions people, opens doors, and sends divine connections—but we must have the audacity to ask.
Just as we sometimes hesitate to ask others for help, we can also hesitate to approach God—our Father who holds every answer. Yet Hebrews 4:16 reminds us to come boldly before Him. He welcomes our questions, our needs, and our dreams.
So today , I encourage you: don’t shy away
from the favor, help, or breakthrough God has aligned for you. Walk confidently into the moments He arranges, trusting that He’s already gone before you.
Reflection Questions:
- What area of your life needs the audacity of bold faith right now?
- Is there someone God has placed in your path that you need to reach out to—but haven’t?
- How does knowing that God welcomes your questions shift the way you approach
Him?
Prayer:
Father, thank You for divine connections and open doors. Forgive me for the times I’ve let fear or insecurity stop me from stepping forward. Help me to recognize Your hand at work and to boldly ask for what I need—with humility and confidence. I trust that You are aligning the right people, opportunities, and insights to help me walk in my purpose. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Challenge:
Where have you been holding back
from asking for what you truly need—whether from God or others? Identify one area in your life where fear, pride, or hesitation has stopped you from taking a step. This week, take one bold action in faith. Make the call. Ask the question. Pray the big prayer.
