Summary

Following Jesus isn’t a one-time declaration—it’s a daily act of courage. In this powerful devotional, Heidi Vegh reminds us that discipleship is built in the quiet choices, the small sacrifices, and the surrendered moments where we say “yes” to Christ and “no” to our flesh. Whether you're facing conflict, battling pride, or resisting worldly pressures, this prayer equips you to walk boldly and consistently in God's truth.

📌 What You'll Hear:

Why following Jesus requires daily intentionality—not perfection
How to recognize and respond to the Holy Spirit’s nudges in everyday moments
The internal battle between flesh and faith—and how to choose Christ
Encouragement to find strength and courage through obedience
A heartfelt prayer to renew your commitment to follow Jesus each day

🧠 Key Takeaway:

Courage to follow Jesus often begins with quiet obedience—a text unsent, a word left unspoken, a moment surrendered to God. Each small act of faith strengthens you for the next.
